From today they want to bring Berlin to a “standstill”. After several protests in the past week, up to 800 climate activists are to take part in actions and blockades from Monday.
► First action: A blockade at Ernst-Reuter-Platz in Charlottenburg from 7.30 a.m. The result: traffic jams on Bismarckstrasse. as well as in the areas of Otto-Suhr-Allee.
► There is another blockade on the corner of Danziger Strasse and Petersburger Strasse in the east of the capital.
During the blockade actions in the morning, there were again collisions with motorists. A photo shows a motorist pulling the activist off the road.
The climate protection group “Last Generation” wants to paralyze Berlin for a long time on Monday with numerous disruptions and road blockades by hundreds of demonstrators.
This is intended to push through their demands for a radical change in climate policy. Since Wednesday there have already been several sticking actions and blockades in the capital’s traffic.
Most recently, the activists sprayed paint on several luxury shops on Kurfürstendamm over the weekend.
In Berlin, almost 3,000 police investigations are already underway into coercion and dangerous interference in road traffic, trespassing, property damage and resistance to police officers. 800 blockers are known by name.
