On April 17, all 16 German federal state capitals held simultaneous protests against the blockade at 14:00. In the face of the blockade against the Chinese Communist virus, which will end at an unknown date, the protesters showed the government that “Enough is enough! This is about our future”.
The event was the second of its kind in all German state capitals, and of the 16 states, only Hannover, the capital of Lower Saxony, whose application was not approved, still took to the streets to protest. The first event of the same scale was held on March 13.

At 15:27, the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere of alternating speeches and music was broken by the first police arrests and the situation appeared tense.
One of the speakers, Mr. Roman, said, “I have been protesting every day in front of the chancellery from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Today is the 19th day and I am going to hold out until Ms. Merkel resigns.” He said, “A year ago, who could have envisioned our country becoming a fascist state.”

Talking about the danger of the CCP virus, the epidemic is serious in regions and countries that are close to the CCP. Pastor Chilyakov expressed his understanding, coming from Ukraine and knowing what communism is all about, “Communism and socialism are demons, and wherever there is communism or socialism, there is opposition to freedom, opposition to human rights, and there is totalitarianism. We must fight this evil and stay away from it.” He believes they don’t just cause viruses, they are demons themselves.
“Therefore, they cannot be treated by medicine alone, they should be treated by the will of God.” He feels sad that the number of people who believe in God is now decreasing.
