Berlin - activists block roads in the capital: use of cooking oil and threads promising for adhesive protests

Food oil as an efficient means of adhesive protests

Berlin - The city of Berlin was paralyzed on Friday morning by activists from the group last generation. In addition to other streets, the roundabout around the victory column was also affected by protest actions. Several people were arrested and there were blockages in Dorotheenstrasse and Heidestrasse.

In the case of previous adhesive protests, police officers were also equipped with food oil to solve the activists from the road. However, this method has now been adjusted. The officers are now relying on a binding thread to remove the climate adhesive from the street. BILD was able to observe this handle in the recent protests on Friday. The thread is placed around the policemen's wrist and then tightened. So you not only save time, but also reduce the risk of injury.

The strategy shows success: Shortly before 11 a.m., the Berlin police said that all blockages were dissolved. The protests took place nationwide and were a reaction to the lack of commitment of the federal government for a reduction in climate-damaging greenhouse gases in the traffic sector, said a spokesman for the German Press Agency.

It remains to be seen how the activists' actions and the subsequent police operations continue to work. The protests have caused a sensation nationwide and illustrate the gap between the demands of climate protectionists and the efforts of politics.
