Munich in the turmoil: Pro-Choice attack demonstration defies March for Life
Munich in the turmoil: Pro-Choice attack demonstration defies March for Life
München, Deutschland - On June 23, 2025, an exciting meeting in Munich. While around 2300 people on the "March for Life", organized by the "Voice of Still", against demolition of pregnancy and euthanasia, marched, around 800 participants in the counter -demonstration of the "Pro Choice" alliance set a strong sign of physical self -determination. Sophie Ira and Silvia Schwarz report in an article on Lora924 about this exciting confrontation and the voices that arise for the right to self -determination.
The "March for Life" attracted numerous advocates from various religious groups, including Bishop Stefan Oster, who paid tribute to the late Pope Francis and emphasized his demand for protection of life. The Catholic Church was once again a prominent supporter of the march, which caused displeasure with the counter -demonstrators. Rosa Kraft, the spokeswoman for the Pro Choice alliance, criticized the interrelationship of conservative and right-wing extremist groups and called for unrestricted access to free and secure abortions.
demonstrations in the city
The police were deployed with 300 officers to separate the two camps and ensure that the demonstrations were peaceful. Nevertheless, there were some disorders when counter -demonstrators tried to hinder the march of the opponents of abortion. Violations of the meeting law and the showing of crossed -out swastikas were also observed, which led to procedures against several participants. According to the police, there were no injuries, but the situation remained tense.
In parallel to these events, the Easter March took place at Marienplatz, which was under the motto "peace capable of peace instead of warstroke". This march, intended for peace and diplomacy, also set a strong sign and attracted equally committed participants. Thomas Rödel from the DFG-VK urgently warned of the planned deployment of new medium-range missiles in Germany and Monika Seiler reminded of the perceived 80 years since the atomic bombing and the ongoing nuclear threat. Such voices were present in the counter -demonstrations against the "march for life" and demanded an awareness of the social challenges that affect all people.The context of the women's movement
These arguments are part of a greater social context that the women's movements in Germany have shaped for over 100 years. Historically, three waves of the women's movement are to be distinguished, which are advocates for gender equality on social, political and economic levels. The first wave dates from the 18th century and produced milestones such as the "explanation of the rights of women and citizens" by Olympe de Gouges in 1791. Even today, in the third wave, women are fighting for their rights in the middle of social tensions and political challenges.
As the international women's league emphasizes for peace and freedom, these fights are still relevant. The leaders Johanna Braun and Mariana Lechterbeck recently raised the 110th anniversary of the organization and called for the ongoing challenge of equality. The involvement of feminist engagement and the current social debates became once again clear in Munich.
at a time when the rights of women and their physical self -determination are again up for debate, the voice of women's movement remains essential. The creation of consciousness and the solidarity support of everyone who stands up for peace and equality are of the greatest importance.
