German students strike against conscription and militarisation
Original: “German Students Strike Against Conscription: Youth Reject Militarisation and Cuts” by Ana Vracar in Savage Minds on Sub
Thousands of students across Germany went on strike on Friday, 25 January, protesting against the reintroduction of military conscription and against education cuts, according to a report by Ana Vracar in Savage Minds. The action frames opposition to militarisation as inseparable from defence of public education funding, and organisers say youth reject being turned into a reserve army as European security debates intensify.
Why now: Debate over reviving conscription in Germany and rising European defence spending has made young people's opposition politically charged.
