Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - In front of the Africa command center of the US armed forces in Stuttgart, around 150 people protested on Saturday for the US military bases to be closed. According to information from the organizer, the Gesellschaft Kultur des Friedens (GFK) and Pax Christi Rottenburg-Stuttgart, journalist Franz Alt called for the area to be converted into social housing, solar parks and cultural institutions. According to a statement on Sunday, Odilo Metzler from Pax Christi warned that the procurement of combat drones decided by the federal government would pave the way for a new type of warfare with autonomous weapons.
Heike Hänsel from the GFK criticized further arms deliveries to the Ukraine: "Instead of prolonging the war with more and more arms, an immediate armistice and political negotiations must finally be supported by the federal government with all its might, mediated by the UN, as already proposed by Italy. " It is important to "win the peace and not the war," as the recently deceased GFK chairman Henning Zierock had demanded at numerous rallies, said Hansel.
