Strandfeeling vor dem Bundeskanzleramt

Lukas Thiele — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 20:22:53 +0000

Nahezu zeitgleich zur Debatte um den Atomausstieg, doch von den Medien weitgehend unbeachtet, will die Bundesregierung demnächst über eine Bürgschaft von 1,3 Milliarden Euro zum Weiterbau des AKW Angra3 in Brasilien entscheiden. Der Bau von Angra 3 war bereits im Jahr 1984 begonnen und zwischenzeitlich gestoppt worden. Das geplante AKW wird von NGOs unter anderem als “Risikoreaktor” eingestuft, weil es in einem Erdbebengebiet liegt und auf veralteter Technik basiert.

Grundsätzlich ist die Bürgschaft bereits zugesichert, nun will das Kampagnenportal CAMPACT mit einer Aktion am Mittwoch, 06. Juli 2011 vor dem Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin auf die Debatte aufmerksam machen und Finanzminister Rösler mit einem Apell auffordern, die sogenannte “Hermes-Bürgschaft” zurückzuziehen. Über 120.000 Unterstützer hat die Kampagne bereits im Internet auf www.campact.de gesammelt.

Die Idee: Möglichst viele Menschen lassen vor dem Kanzleramt Strandatmosphäre entstehen, mit Liegestühlen, Palmen und Sambarhythmen – so wie sie derzeit noch rund um den geplanten Bauplatz von Angra direkt am Atlantik herrscht. Dann tritt eine Rösler-Puppe auf und übergibt ein großes AKW als Geschenk. Die Strandatmosphäre ändert sich schlagartig und alle fangen an, gegen das AKW zu demonstrieren.

Zeit: Mittwoch, 6. Juli, 8.30 bis ca. 9.15 Uhr

Ort: Vor dem Bundeskanzleramt, Willy-Brandt-Straße 1, Berlin

Geoffrey B. Small is a well-known fashion designer who lives close to Venice. As the italian government plans to construct a nuclear power plant very close to his studio he started a campaign against these plans (“Logomania”). During the Biennale in June they have set up an exhibition of three art projects.

The exhibition title: THIS IS NOT A FLOWER…CHERNOBYL. FUKUSHIMA. VENEZIA?

Petition to stop nuclear power plant in Hamaoka

Lukas Thiele — Tue, 03 May 2011 13:58:32 +0000

Hamaoka is a nuclear power plant situated in the Shizuoka prefecture/JAPAN. Citizens living in the Shizuoka area have now established an online-petition to stop Hamaoka in order to prevent another nuclear accident as it happened in Fukushima.

“We believe that HAMAOKA nuclear power plant, in Shizuoka prefecture, is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen, because scientists predict that a gigantic earthquake will occur in the area where the plant is located.”
