(en) Germany, Die Platform: Speech at the demonstration against Veterans Day in Trier (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Sat, 9 Aug 2025 07:35:38 +0300


"Those who give their all for our freedom deserve all of our respect," Julia Glöckner can be heard saying on the Veterans Day website. Exactly what freedom she's talking about remains unclear. Perhaps she's talking about the freedom to still not have enough money to live on despite working three jobs. Rather unlikely for someone who earns EUR16,000 a month. What respect she's talking about remains equally unclear. To throw a spiteful "thank you" at people who were drafted into military service, perhaps against their will, and then injured in action today is very reminiscent of the "waves of applause" for medical personnel during the coronavirus pandemic. Only this time, they truly destroyed their health for the good of our society and weren't forced into it like pawns on a chessboard by some armchair generals.

Those who babble about freedom and respect shouldn't stop just when things start to get uncomfortable. Freedom and respect mean a good life for everyone.
A life where there is free public transport and not tanks, a life where no one is dependent on trucks carrying aid supplies, which are still being shot at and bombed today, a life where birds fly and not rockets.

There are many people who fight for this world every day: indigenous people, internationalists, trade unionists, comrades from all social movements.

The Rheinmetall Disarmament Camp will take place with them in Cologne from August 26-31.

There, as here, we say, "Let's smash militarization together and disempower the warmongers!

No war between nations, no peace between classes."
