Anti-nuclear demonstration in Lingen, Germany
Around 700 people demonstrated on October 29th in Lingen, sending a clear mesage of the necessity of immediately phasing out nuclear energy.
In Lingen fuel rods are made for nuclear power plants. Also for the Belgium nuclear power plants, which the German goverment wants to see shut down. But they still make the fuel rods... see the irony here?
Read more about the demo on the BI-Luechow Dannenberg website.
