Climate activists block traffic in Berlin - the police let activists glue

police let two activists stick because they do not affect traffic

On Friday, climate activists from the “Last Generation” group blocked traffic at various locations in Berlin. Some activists had glued to the road and thus blocked the Hofjägerallee and the street of June 17 in the direction of Brandenburger Tor. Some protest participants were disguised as Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) and Minister of Transport Volker Wissing (FDP) and held a banner with the inscription "We break the law". The traffic was released after about an hour. The police let two activists glue on the floor because they did not affect traffic.

The blockade of the traffic has also extended to other German cities. In Munich, activists stuck to the stachus and thus blocked the traffic in one direction. However, the police were already in the process of removing the glue from the street. In Braunschweig, climate activists blocked the inner city roads, with some of them dressed up as Scholz, Habeck and Wissing. In Dresden, six activists blocked Washingtonstrasse towards the city center, while activists in the north of Leipzig blocked federal road 2. All blockages have now been dissolved by the police.

The group "Last generation" plans a total of 36 seat blocks in 26 German cities. They protest against the Federal Government's inadequate measures to protect climate protection in the transport sector. The spokeswoman for the group, Carla Rochel, said: "The Federal Government breaks the law and leads our society into collapse. It is our democratic duty to resist peacefully."

On Thursday, members of the “last generation” had already paralyzed the airports in Hamburg and Düsseldorf for several hours by overcovering the fences and sticking to the roller fields. According to a spokesman for the group, she is now planning further protests all over Germany.
