Impression of the rally from a platform of the Berlin main station. The windows frame forms a "X", the symbol of the resistance in the Wendland region against CASTOR nuclear waste transports
Unfortunately also several parties used the huge event for their election propaganda - here a couple of flags of the "ödp" (ökologisch demokratische Partei), a conservative ecological party that some ten and more years ago had been discussed much for their right wing ecological positions (that they later had to give up - at least officially)

About 100,000 people protested in Berlin and closed the government's quarter for several hours.

A wide alliance of environmental and anti-atomic organizations, trade unions, parties and individuals came together to protest against the government's atomic policy and against nuclear power in general. More than 100,000 people demonstrated their anti-nuclear opinion; action groups invited for direct actions and blockades during the next months to stop atomic waste transports.
