The traditional Easter marches in Germany this year take place in the shadow of the war in Ukraine and the Middle East. German politicians appreciate the desire for peace, but warn against naivety before Putin.
Across Germany, participants in traditional Easter marches want to send a signal for peace and against war this year. The main day of traditional marches is Easter Saturday, where around 70 peace marches have been announced in Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) on the occasion of the Easter days once again confirmed German support for Ukraine and argued it with German security interests. Even the vice chancellor, Robert Habeck (Greens), the German foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock (Greens), and the head of the opposition party, CDU, Friedrich Merz have published messages for Easter.
Scholz: Peace without freedom means oppression
In a video message, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that "we all want a more peaceful world". But peace without freedom means oppression. There is no peace without justice. "That's why we support Ukraine in its struggle for a just peace, as long as it will be necessary. We do this also for us, for our security." Scholz accused Russia under President Putin of violating a principle valid for decades: that borders are not changed by force. "But we have it in our hands to make this valid again. principle. By supporting Ukraine even further, decisively and prudently".
Habeck: Germany must be protected from military attacks
While the German Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economy, Robert Habeck, in a video published on Thursday evening on the X platform, said that "we want peace. Yes. But the bitter and true answer is: there probably won't be a quick and good end, even though we wish it otherwise." Regarding the Russian aggression, Habekc emphasized that "we must prepare for the state of threat. Every anything else would be naive." Therefore, Germany would do well to invest more in its security. "We, Germany, the EU, we must be fully protected, even against military attacks."
Habeck emphasized that he has respect for the positions that for moral reasons or religious beliefs regarding the delivery of weapons to Ukraine reach a different conclusion, different from his. "I understand very well that people are afraid of an escalation of the war. I'm worried too." Habeck spoke against a "war freeze". "Although I understand very well that due to the high number of victims there is talk of freezing the war, this position forgets the fact that only Ukrainians can decide what price they would be willing to pay , and under what conditions they would like to reach a truce or end the war"./DW
