Overview

• Nuklearia has registered a demonstration for Sunday at 8 a.m. to coincide with the ARD Sommerinterview featuring SPD chair Bärbel Bas.
• ARD has shifted to pre-recording interviews and withholds scheduling details as a security measure against disruptive protests.
• The pro-nuclear group says it seeks to mobilize SPD’s unionized industrial workers by spotlighting job risks from high energy costs and urging reactor restarts.
• A previous protest attempt at Felix Banaszak’s interview failed after ARD moved the recording earlier, and in late July a loudspeaker bus disrupted Alice Weidel’s session.
• It remains uncertain whether the early-morning demonstration will succeed in interrupting the interview before its 18:00 broadcast on Das Erste.
