COUNT down
in Munich
Demonstration alliance expects far over 10000 war opponents. Repressionen fears "Shopping under police protection" forecast the picture newspaper for the weekend in Munich. The city will become actual again once the fortress, if approximately 3500 police officers from several Lands of the Federal Republic move forward for the protection of the so-called safety conference of NATO. Far over 10000 war opponents from completely Germany and the neighbour states for international large demonstration against the meeting that approximately 200 politicians, military and arms lobbyists are expected. O'clock a demonstration forms the prelude of the protest actions against the urban receipt of the war strategists on Friday at 17. Mayor Christian Ude (SPD) had originally promised to call this sparkling wine receipt off if the conference serves for it, a "attack on the Iraq to justify" and "Donald Rumsfeld there saying has". Since Ude invites the conference participants nevertheless now into the city hall, his verbal refusal of the war is improbable, criticizes the demonstration alliance. Alternative ones to the war are to be compiled to a conference of the peace movement on Saturday morning. Here among other things the Norwegian peace researcher Johann Galtung speaks. For 11 o'clock calls the Bavarian DGB as well as the SPD, which churches and the mayor to a peace demonstration on the Odeonsplatz up, which is not to be directed expressly against the safety conference or NATO. At 12 o'clock begins then on Marienplatz the international large demonstration of the alliance against conference of NATO. The singer-songwriter Konstantin bell will sing on the closing speech in direct proximity for the meeting place of the safety conference in the Bavarian yard. After there was the attempt in Munich several times on the part of neonazistischer groups to infiltrate the anti-war movement the demonstration alliance gets straight in the apron that racistic and anti-Semitic slogans on the actions against the safety conference are just as little waited like a positive reference to Saddam Hussein or to suicide assassination attempts. Not desired are besides national flags as "symbol of nationalism and thus an ideology, which produces inward and outside pressure, within a:Nation9 negates contradictions and weakens an emancipatory policy". Substantial repressalien
against demonstrators the red assistance fears e.V. after the announcement of
Minister of the Interior Guenter Beckstein (CSU), ready for violence
demonstrators with already starts to Munich in preventing safekeeping to take.
In addition the press spokeswoman of the red assistance explained e.V. Munich,
Paula writer: "with black lists against left oppositionals to proceed, a free
meeting right is surely not ensured surface covering video monitoring and
substantial intimidation in the apron." 07.02.2003/nod Brauns
