RENWED DEMONSTRATIONS BROKE OUT OVER THE WEEKEND IN MANY GERMAN CITIES TO EXPRESS THEIR SOLIDARITY WITH THE CITIZENS OF GORLEBEN.

Renewed demonstrations broke out in Niedersachsen and in Berlin over the weekend in addition to the demonstration that had taken place over sveral weeks in the small town of Gorleben. The citizens of the small town demonstrated to halt the transport of nuclear waste materials from the neighboring country of France to Germany for burial in their small town of Gorleben. Many citizens blocked the railway tracks with big and heavy duty vehicles such as tractors, load trucks and huge stones as the freight train pulled in towards Gorleben with the nuclear waste materials. Other States have demonstrated to reveal their solidarity with the citizens of Gorleben and to express their rejection of the current administration energy policy that has extended the use for nuclear Reactors to generate electricity for the next twelve years. This has given the Green Party an overwhelming support for the first time to be a non collusion ruling party in Germany.
