dieBasis Hamburg organizes trip to Hannover peace demonstration

The dieBasis party's Hamburg state association is organizing a trip to a peace demonstration in Hannover scheduled for August 29, 2026. Under the motto ‘Friedensfähig statt kriegstüchtig’ (capable of peace instead of capable of war), the group aims to advocate for diplomacy and de-escalation regarding conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

The demonstration serves as a political response to upcoming local developments in Hamburg. In late September 2026, the city is set to host ‘Red Storm Charlie,’ a large-scale civil-military exercise. Following the previous ‘Red Storm Bravo,’ this exercise will involve Hamburg as a logistical hub for NATO troop and material movements, integrating civilian infrastructure—including the port, roads, police, and emergency services—into military scenarios.
