“This is completely out of date and has nothing to do with tradition,” says a reader who contacted us via voice message. Another talks about what we have together Fireworks with the neighbors on the doorstep and calls it the “highlight of the Christmas season.” The question whether Fireworks should be bannedour readers discuss emotionally. You can hear a selection of the countless voice messages that have reached us in the current episode of “Call to All”.
Recently around two million people demanded by petition a ban on firecrackers. The initiators of the petitions argue with the burden on nature and the environment as well as the safety and health of vulnerable groups and emergency services. The interior ministers of the federal states discussed the issue at their conference in December, but were unable to agree on a ban. In episode 75 of Call to All we discuss how neighboring countries are dealing with the fireworks debate and what will change in Germany from New Year’s Eve 2026.
