Documentary event Cologne „This war does not end in Ukraine“.

On Feb. 25, 2023 in Cologne, about 120 visitors discussed with Raúl Sánchez Cedillo and Isabell Lorey about emancipatory perspectives against the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine in the Kulturbunker Köln Mülheim. In his book „This War Does Not End in Ukraine“, Raúl Sánchez Cedillo puts the creation of new institutions at the center of his political perspective. Against war and militarization, he argues for a socio-ecological common, for a democratic power from below and a constituent peace in a transformed Europe. We talk about this with Raúl Sánchez Cedillo and Isabell Lorey, moderated by Anja Hertz. English with German interpretation.
