As announced, the climate group Last Generation obstructed traffic in Berlin with several blockades on Monday. Around an hour and a half after the start of the actions, the police spoke of around 30 places in the city where climate activists were standing on the street, stuck there or holding banners.
Accordingly, the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf area was a focal point. According to their own statements, the Berlin police want to be on the road with up to 500 officers in the city area to prevent or quickly end the blockades. A police spokeswoman spoke of a “dynamic situation”.
The climate group had announced that they wanted to try to paralyze the entire capital from Monday. “We no longer accept that this government does not respect our constitution. We no longer accept that the government does not have a plan to stop the destruction of our livelihoods. We resist now!” shared the last generation with. The actions are not time-limited. They should only end when the requirements have been met.
The traffic information center (VIZ) said that the protests would also result in numerous delays, diversions, cancellations or cancellations in bus services. “If possible, switch to the S U Bahn!” Was the VIZ’s recommendation on Twitter.
The group complains about the lack of climate protection and demands the establishment of a social council with random members. She is calling on politicians to come up with a plan to achieve the 1.5 degree target, which is intended to prevent the worst consequences of global warming.
