Climate activists from the Last Generation group have smeared paint on several luxury shops on Berlin’s Ku’damm. They sprayed the orange paint on shop windows and facades with fire extinguishers on Saturday morning, as a dpa reporter observed on site. “We can no longer afford the rich” was also on the group’s posters, as well as “Your luxury = our climate collapse”. A police spokesman said the people involved would be checked.
“The richest Germans emit a thousand times as many greenhouse gases as the average. While ordinary people have to bear the consequences, a few can still buy their freedom for a long time from the catastrophic consequences of the climate catastrophe, which they have played a major role in causing,” said one Statement from the last generation on the protest action. According to the reporter on site, the activists on the Ku’damm were sometimes verbally abused, but there were also quiet discussions with some passers-by.
