Germany: Participation in the main demonstration for the G7 summit is small

Unexpectedly limited was the participation in the central protest rally held today in Munich on the occasion of the G7 Summit, which starts tomorrow in Upper Bavaria. The organizers express their frustration.

Munich police put the number of participants at 4,000, while the 15 organizations that had sent the invitation had announced at least 20,000 and finally reported that only 6,000 had participated. “They were far fewer than we expected,” said Uwe Hicks, a spokesman for Friends of Nature. Trying to interpret the attitude of the citizens, he noted that the leftists and greens who usually participate in such rallies now think that, due to the war, it may not be the right time to express our opposition to the leadership.

At least 3,000 police officers were mobilized to guard the demonstration, while a total of more than 18,000 people were mobilized for the security of the Summit.
