Anti-atomic Demonstration in Berlin on September 18 2010

100,000 protested in Berlin against atomic power

The anti-atomic demonstration started and ended in front of the Berlin main station

Thousands flooded the area between main station, "Reichstag" (federal parliament), "Kanzleramt" (chancellory) and other governmental buildings

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)

Main stage of the demonstration - with speakers and bands...

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.
