GERMAN ANTI-NUCLEAR MOVEMENT TURNS OUT
Ther German government has promised to phase-out nuclear power. They are back-sliding on the promise.
So rather than give in to despair the German anti-nuclear movement organized a protest in Berlin of 100,000 people in recent days.
In a peaceful march around Berlin’s government quarter, protesters converged on Angela Merkel’s chancellery to call for a stop to her plans to extend the life spans of nuclear power stations by an average of 12 years.
Sociologist Klaus Hurrelmann said the wave of anti-nuclear sentiment could be "the match capable of sparking a new political movement."
This is the way to deal with broken political promises.
Stand up and fight back.
