Another 200 Gorleben tractors join the run to Berlin

Another 200 tractors have left the Gorleben area to join the anti-nuclear trek to Berlin on Friday for a demonstration expected to attract tens of thousands in the capital on Saturday.

Thousands of anti-nuclear protesters are expected in the German capital Berlin on Saturday for a demonstration called by more than 100 organisations, with a national election due on the 21st. The pro-nuclear CDU conservatives of Chancellor Angela Merkel are expected to win hands-down and although a majority of their own voters oppose nuclear power, if she wins, Merkel is likely to undo a pact that now sets nuclear electricity production by 17 stations to stop by 2020. The demonstration alliance includes environment and industry associations, trade unions and citizen groups. It will conclude a tractor trek of several hundred kilometres by farmers from Gorleben, site of an interim and projected permanent nuclear waste dump roughly half-way between Hamburg and Hanover in the north.

An anti-nuclear trek to a big Berlin demo on Saturday grows to 200 vehicles at times. There are now regularly 100 farm tractors, trucks and construction trailers which are joined sporadically by a hundred other vehicles.

About one thousand Castor caskets full of nuclear waste are produced by just one atomic power station during its operative life without there being a final repository for it anywhere.

With the release on humanitarian grounds, of the Lockerbie convict, Mr Megrahi, the Scottish goverment has acted according the universal humanitarian values and fundamental principles of civilisation
The objections of certain American political circles not only testify of lack of respect for humanitarian values, but are also highly hypocritical and based on double standards.
