Under the motto "Wendpunkt 2023" , in particular, are planned for two weeks with big actions in Berlin : from 23 to October 27th to November 1st. But even outside of these action weeks there are always blockages in the city.
according to a report by www.tagesspiegel.de The group" Last Generation "has repeatedly protested with street blocks and other actions in Berlin in the past few weeks. On Monday, for example, they blocked the city highway and thus caused significant impairments of traffic. In addition, the group damaged the Brandenburg Gate by spraying color on it and planning to disturb the start of the Berlin marathon, but was prevented by the quick intervention by the police.
Under the motto "Wendpunkt 2023", two more weeks of action in Berlin are planned, namely from 23 to October 27 and from November 27 to December 1st. During these periods, further large protest actions are expected to take place. However, blockages and other promotions of the group can also be expected outside of these action weeks.
The protests of the “last generation” are directed against the inadequate measures for climate protection. The activists call for a quick rethink and determined action to avert the impending climate crisis. The Berlin population is increasingly affected by the protests because they can lead to traffic disabilities and security problems in the urban area. It is discussed how the city administration and the police can react appropriately to the protests in order to ensure both the security of the citizens as well as the right to expression and freedom of assembly.
The "last generation" actions also have consequences for tourist attractions in Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, a well -known landmark of the city, had to be cleaned several times to remove the color of the protest. The damage and cleaning costs also burden the city finances.
It remains to be seen how the protests of the “last generation” will develop and how the city of Berlin will react to find a balance between the legitimized concerns of the activists and the guaranteed public order.
