He is now committed to the Scientist Rebellion group for more climate protection and the livelihood of his children and grandchildren, as he revealed to the star in January. Last year in April he blocked the Kronprinzenbrücke in Berlin. The Tiergarten district court accuses him of attempted coercion and resistance to the enforcement officers.
