GERMANY PROTEST: Merz Under Fire As Berlin Marches Call Country 'Perpetrators Of Two World Wars'

Anti-war activists in Berlin staged a large protest against Rheinmetall’s plans to convert the former Pierburg car-parts factory into an ammunition plant, warning that Germany’s expanding arms industry fuels global conflicts. Demonstrators accused the company of profiting from war and highlighted Berlin’s role as a major supplier of weapons to Israel and Ukraine. Police detained multiple participants during the march, reflecting tensions over militarisation and public safety. Rheinmetall plans to begin artillery shell production at the Pierburg site in 2026, following record 2024 sales of €9.75 billion, while research shows Germany supplied about 30 percent of Israel’s major arms imports from 2019 to 2023. The demonstration underscores broader European debates on militarisation, ethics, and national security, raising questions about the balance between defence, profit, and regional stability.
