Demonstrations against planned new arms factory. Farmers with tractors were on the move, a police spokesman said on Monday.
The new ‘Lower Saxony Plant’ will, among other things, produce artillery ammunition. Unterlüß is the arms company's largest production site; in addition to ammunition, military vehicles such as the Puma infantry fighting vehicle are also manufactured there. Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (both SPD) are expected in the Lüneburg Heath on Monday for the official groundbreaking ceremony.
