In Guerra, Thuringia, about 10,000 protesters asked the government to cancel a series of sanctions against Russia to calm the price increase, and the "anti-March" held at the same time in the local area only attracted370People attend. As the parade attracted the far-right party Option Party.AfDThe contents of the protest are also mixed with demands that the current government step down, send relevant politicians to jail and cancel the prevention and control measures of COVID-19 epidemic.
In addition to Guerra, which has become the focus of contradictions, there have been parades of different sizes in major cities in eastern Germany, including thousands of protesters gathered in Leipzig under the slogan of "peace, freedom and self-determination". Teams of similar sizes have also appeared in Dresden, Frankfurt-on-Oder, magdeburg, Weimar and the hometown of former Chancellor Merkel.–On the streets of many cities in Qianzhou. According to the data of the police in the capital Berlin, there are also close1400Protesters in the left-wing party (Die LinkeUnder the organization of), it is required to stop sanctions against Russia and aid to the Ukrainian army.
中德广播电视台MDR援引警方数据显示，仅在图林根州一地，国庆节当日便有至少3.6万名抗议者走上该州境内39个城市表达不满。如果将其余四个原属于前东德的联邦州的游行示威人数一并计算在内，当日全德范围内的抗议者总数至少在五万人以上。
事实上，自从nine月德国通货膨胀迅速恶化以来，几乎每个周一都会有万人规模的游行队伍出现在前东德各城市的街头。选定在周一进行示威游行的目的，则是令外界将该系列示威联想到1989年直接导致东德政权崩溃的“周一示威”，同时也是去年秋冬前东德地区抗议新冠防疫措施后大规模示威活动的死灰复燃。
在德国国庆小长假第一天的10moon1日，以原东柏林市中心亚历山大广场为中心就聚集了数千示威者，其诉求包括迅速寻求与俄罗斯进行和平谈判以结束对俄制裁、中止对乌克兰的军事援助、尽快修复北溪管道恢复供气。游行队伍之中的口号还包括“终止制裁、缔造和平”“拒绝第三次世界大战”以及要求绿党籍的外交部长贝尔博克立即下台。
值得注意的是，已持续数周的大规模抗议活动始终聚集在前东德地区，类似要求停止对俄制裁主张的示威却并未在前西德地区爆发。
Take Frankfurt and Munich, the former West German cities with the strongest street politics and culture, for example. The former organized a large-scale demonstration in support of Iranian women during the National Day holiday, while the latter held a 10,000-person environmental demonstration on Friday before the National Day.Fridays for FutureThe name calls for a global climate strike, while the number of participants in the pro-Russian parade in Frankfurt is only150People.
In the 30 years since the reunification of Germany, although the gap between the East and the West has been greatly improved, and the successful federal state represented by Saxony has even almost reached the average value of Germany in economy, the political and cultural differences and economic structure differences between East and West Germany are still exposed on the issues of Russia-Ukraine conflict and energy crisis.
One of the most critical factors is that the former East Germany is much more dependent on Russian natural gas than the former West Germany. Both the Beixi pipeline and the Yamal natural gas pipeline connecting western Siberia are located in Brandenburg and May in the former East Germany.–Compared with the Rhineland and Ruhr areas that can access the North Sea oil and gas fields, the former five states of East Germany and Bavaria have the highest dependence on Russian natural gas.
Different from rich Bavaria, the five former East German states lack capital and infrastructure for energy diversification, and also lack nuclear power plants established in the West German era to stabilize energy supply.
At the same time, the former East Germany has a larger proportion of energy-intensive enterprises in its economic structure, including Schwedt’s.PCKThe raw materials and energy supply of industrial groups represented by oil refineries and Lenau Chemical Park are almost completely dependent on Russia. Member of the Liberal Democratic Party of BrandenburgLinda TeutebergIt is also pointed out that trade with Russia is far more important to East German companies than other parts of Germany.
In addition, due to historical problems, the housing market structure of the former East Germany is also very different from that of the West Germany. Generally speaking, urban residents in East Germany are more dependent on rental companies and low rents. Compared with self-owned housing, the rental price set by rental companies is usually directly linked to the inflation rate. In Germany,nineThe month has reached as high as10%Under the impact of inflation, the price transmission speed of housing market is much faster in East Germany than in West Germany. On the other hand, East housing vacancy rate, which has a serious population loss, is as high as.20%, its influence is onlyfivea surname; short for Europe; lucky/The cheap rent of square meters makes the proportion of energy expenditure too large; In Munich and Frankfurt, where the land is precious, it is as high as15a surname; short for Europe; lucky/The rent of square meters belongs to the ordinary price, but the energy expenditure in these areas is actually lower because of the better thermal insulation of houses.
In fact, the contradiction that seems to be generous with the generosity of eastern residents to meet the political ideals of wealthy western residents also appears within the EU.
as far back asninemoonthreesun70,000 Czech protesters took to the streets of Prague and slogan "Czech priority", demanding that the government give up sanctions against Russia and stop aiding Ukrainian troops.ninemoon29A demonstration of 10,000 people broke out again in Prague, the capital of Czech Republic. In addition to demanding that the current Prime Minister Fiala step down, the procession also asked the government to reconsider its relations with NATO, the European Union, the United Nations and the World Health Organization, and called on the government to conduct peace talks with Russia alone and achieve military neutrality.
