AROUND 5,000 in Leipzig and another 1,000 in Berlin last Monday took part in the first rallies of a campaign that’s being called the start of a “hot autumn” of resistance to Ukraine war-imposed hardships on German workers.
Demonstrators demanded caps on gas and electricity prices, the abolition of gas surcharges that fall on the working class, nationalisation of the energy industry, and an end to the economic war the German government is waging with Russia.
Along with other EU countries, Germany has imposed economic sanctions on Russian energy sales in a bid to punish President Vladimir Putin for his invasion of Ukraine.
