Thousands of students marched through the streets of several major German cities on Friday to protest against a possible return to compulsory military service. A movement that recalls that of another country marked by the Second World War: Japan.
Tens of thousands of students participated on Friday in protests organized in Germany against a possible reintroduction of compulsory military service. Demonstrations, carried out under the slogan "School strike against compulsory military service", took place just on the day 81 years after the end of the Second World War.
Rallies and protest marches were held in dozens of cities with the central slogan "School strike against compulsory military service", on the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.
Their protest falls on a special date: on the 81st anniversary of the end of the World War, young people demonstrated against conscription, which could come if not enough volunteers were found. However, the Federal Government is confident.
"Education instead of bombs": Today, students throughout the Federal Republic of Germany skipped their classes and called for a rethink in the recruitment of young people during the school strike against compulsory military service.
