Project M1llion - Peace Activists Traveled to Berlin and Demanded the Government's Resignation – Protests, Convoys, and Rally in Front of the Brandenburg GatePeace activists from all parts of Germany made their way to Berlin. Through protest convoys, rallies, and marches, they sought to send a message against the policies of the federal government. In particular, the differing reports regarding participant numbers sparked discussion. 
On Sunday, June 7, 2026, protest convoys from across Germany set out for Berlin in order to take part the following day, June 8, from 9 a.m. onward, in a large protest rally on Straße des 17. Juni in front of the Brandenburg Gate. 
On Sunday, peace activists from Burgenlandkreis, Altenburger Land, Vogtland, and Holzlandkreis met up with the convoy from Bavaria at the A9 rest area near Osterfeld. During the morning hours, peace activists from the group "Wölfe Zeitz" conducted a bridge-lighting action and enthusiastically welcomed all peace activists traveling on the A9 toward Berlin, receiving positive reactions from other motorists also heading to Berlin. As the journey to Berlin continued, another protest convoy from Saxony, which had departed from Pirna and Dresden, joined the group. By late afternoon, the first assembly point in Berlin had been reached – at the Olympic Stadium. Coordination among the convoy leaders worked smoothly. It became known that Berlin authorities intended to deny access to Straße des 17. Juni. In order to force entry nonetheless, several peace activist convoys blocked the large multi-level roundabout at the entrance to Straße des 17. Juni during the night of June 7–8. As a result, traffic throughout the city center came to a standstill for several hours. The participating convoys were subsequently permitted to enter and park along Straße des 17. Juni. Hardly any of the participants were able to sleep that night. At 10 a.m., the rally in front of the Brandenburg Gate began. A business association sponsored the stage and sound system. The peace activists in attendance were enthusiastic about the speakers and the program. However, by around 11 a.m., there were still fewer than 1,000 people present. Frustration and anger spread as people realized that, out of more than 80 million citizens, not even one thousand had come to this protest demonstration, despite the goal of having one million upright citizens demand the immediate resignation of the Chancellor and his government. It then became known that additional large convoys arriving from across Germany had been denied entry into Berlin. 
For the afternoon, several protest marches on foot had been planned and organized from different parts of the city. Their destination was the Chancellor's Office, where a list of demands containing 11 key points was to be delivered. Police informed newly arriving participants that they should park their vehicles at the Olympic Stadium and use public transportation to reach the city center. Allegedly, there were no parking spaces available. Yet when more than a million young people repeatedly held parties in Berlin over the years, there were no such restrictions. Among our peace activists, Patrick and others produced TikTok videos and livestreams. Well-known YouTubers such as Björn Banane, Weichreite, and others were also actively involved, providing livestream coverage and impressions of the protest marches through Berlin. Meanwhile, according to various streamers, participant numbers in the protest marches had risen to 5,000, then 10,000, and eventually 25,000. Tagesschau reported 4,000 participants ... But if I assume only 5,000 people per protest march, as the livestreams appeared to indicate, and I know that there were several marches, then with five marches alone I arrive at a total of 25,000 participants ... A considerable number of participants will remain there for a few more days, as peace vigils are planned through Friday. Even though the target of one million participants was not reached, this protest nevertheless represents a clear sign of dissatisfaction among a segment of the German population with the government's policies and what they see as the destruction of the future and security of our families. We neither need nor want war; rather, we are addicted to peace, because only in peace with all nations do we have a chance for a secure future! Thank you to all participants who made it possible to take part in this significant protest! Author: AI-Translation - Arnd Eiert | |
