The Saxon Left Party is promoting a non-violent settlement of conflicts with a peace campaign during the election campaign. The campaign under the slogan "Peace needs courage: Saxony becomes peaceable" begins on Tuesday to mark the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The aim is to bring the peace requirement of the constitution back to the forefront of the political debate, explained party chairpersons Susanne Schaper and Stefan Hartmann.
With their campaign, the Left Party is demanding, among other things, a ban on military research at universities in the country. They are also calling for a ban on new Bundeswehr bases in Saxony and a clear commitment from the state government against the stationing of nuclear weapons in the state.
