Action urged against climate group funded by German government
CDU Secretary General calls for toughness against 'letzte Generation' (-in English- Last Generation)
Climate protection demonstrators from the group "letze Generation'" have blocked hundreds of streets across Germany this year. This was the result of a survey by "Welt am Sonntag" among police authorities in the Federal states. Berlin reported 149 blockades, Hesse 34, Baden-Württemberg 17, Bavaria 8, Saxony 5, Brandenburg 4, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bremen 3 each. Hamburg even reported 213 "actions" by the group, which also includes assemblies. In Berlin alone, 310 men and women were taken into custody and 67 criminal proceedings were initiated.
Especially in Berlin, the blockades of climate protection demonstrators, who often stick their hands to the asphalt, cause considerable obstructions in rush-hour traffic. The group demands more action from the Federal government in the fight against climate change. Last week, the group announced that it would suspend the blockades during the summer. In autumn, the protests are to continue.
CDU Secretary General, Mario Czaja called for a tougher crackdown on the protesters. "Just like hooligans, blockaders should be taken into preventive custody consistently and for as long as possible even before announced actions," Czaja told "Welt am Sonntag".
It has now been revealed that the environmental protestors are funded by the German government.
