Last generation announces mass occupation of the street of June 17th in Berlin

Berlin. Shortly after the color attack on another Berlin landmark, the world clock at Alexanderplatz, the last generation is already carrying out the next big campaign: for Saturday, October 28th, the group announced a "mass line -up" of the street of June 17 in Berlin. On X (formerly Twitter) she called up interested participants to meet at 12 p.m. on the sidewalk on the edge of the street of June 17th - between the Siegeskäl and Rüsternallee. After a start signal, everyone went on the street and blocked the traffic.

The section corresponds to a length of about one kilometer and is located not far from the Berlin government district. In a video on YouTube, activists tell why they want to participate in the campaign - and also call up members of the groups of Fridays for future and extinction rebellion to join them. The police counted up to 600 participants, speakers spoke of more than 1000 demonstrators at the rally. Later, according to the police, around 100 participants - obviously supporters of the group last generation - stuck on the street. The officials then started to solve the activists from the road and determine their personal details. Members or sympathizers of various groups stood on the street of June 17 in the Tiergarten at several points and thus brought traffic to a standstill. According to observations of a dpa reporter, the police quickly resolved a smaller blockade near the victory column and wore demonstrators off the street. Then the officials held back: They considered the campaign as a permissible assembly, as it was said in a loudspeaker announcement after a while.

The group of the last generation, whose activists regularly stick to streets, had called for a "mass line-up" of the street of June 17 in the past few days. In addition to members of this group, including those from the Netherlands, also demonstrated supporters of extinction Rebellion, Scientist Rebellion or the Federal Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND). On the transparent it was read "Stop the fossil madness, climate evolution now" or "Protect climate protecting" is not a crime ". Later, according to the police, around 60 participants - according to photos, stuck on the street - followers of the group's last generation. The officials then began to solve the activists from the road and determine their personal details.

Since the beginning of 2022, the last generation has mainly blocked roads to create traffic jams and thus draw attention to the dangers of climate change. In the meantime, hundreds of criminal proceedings are in the judiciary and there have already been numerous convictions.
