Due to the corona pandemic , those responsible for Jai Jagat decided in March 2020 to temporarily cancel the march. Around 50 activists who had reached Armenia were unable to march on because of the impending border closings. It is still open whether European partial marches will take place in September 2020. There are also plans to hold the “People's Parliament” in Geneva in a shortened form.
