Erfurt (Germany), June 21: six German army trucks on fire

[Note of Sans Nom: Yesterday, Monday June 23, a dispatch from the German Press Agency (dpa) announced – to the delight of young and old alike – that six German army trucks had gone up in smoke over the weekend in Erfurt (Thuringia region). The trucks were parked in the north of the city, in the parking lot of a maintenance and repair workshop.

This incident comes at a time when the German government is considering compulsory military service, introducing a Veterans’ Day (June 15), boosting the preparation and militarization of the public, and above all spending immeasurable sums for war: the creation of a special €500 billion investment fund earmarked for so-called “security” investments, and an increase in its annual defense budget from €63 billion in 2025 (2% of GDP) to €160 billion by 2030 (3.5% of GDP).

In short, the Erfurt attack was a reminder that not everyone in Germany is prepared to accept this militaristic race to the abyss, whether in Hamburg on June 15, when the director of the Vincorion arms company received an incendiary visit to his home, in Berlin on June 10 when the microchip company Micro Resist Technology was sabotaged, in Berlin on June 17 when thirty-six vans belonging to war collaborators Telekom and Amazon went up in smoke, or on June 6 in Soltau (Lower Saxony) when five army trucks had already been burned: an attack claimed the following day on de. indymedia, which is translated below].
