Incident during the climate blockade on Monday in Berlin. Suddenly one of the blockers was lying on the hood of an Audi. Did he fall or was he hit?
Only one thing is clear: The impatient driver wanted to avoid the blockade. The police confirmed the incident and are now investigating the driver on suspicion of negligent bodily harm.
At around 9.30 a.m. at Strausberger Platz, the climate sneaks slowly walked out of town on the roadway. The Audi driver then steered over a restricted area onto the wheel lane in order to avoid the blockers. The demonstrator wanted to prevent this, according to a police spokeswoman.
Shortly thereafter, the climate chaos was on the hood, the driver got out. The protester said he had pain in his shin but refused medical treatment.
The emergency services took the blockers off the road and took everyone’s personal details. It will now be checked whether the Audi driver is guilty of negligent bodily harm.
Climate stickers become climate creepers
New scam in the “Last Generation”. On Monday, the climate stickers became climate creeps. With running blocks.
As the police announced on Twitter, there were “occasional short-term blockades throughout the city in the morning. Here, several people walk together, slowly and on foot on the road.”

Officials would address the blockers, whereupon they would have immediately left the road again at all locations.
There were sneak blockades on Karl-Marx-Allee near Weberwiese and Strausberger Platz (Friedrichshain) as well as on Kaiserdamm in Charlottenburg.
This is how the new blockades work
This is how the new nerve campaigns work: A small group of around ten people who are climate activists step onto the roadway as usual when the traffic light turns green. And then runs in the direction of travel.

“The civil resistance consists above all in the fact that after we were taken off the street, we meet again and repeat the same thing,” it continues.
With the running blockades, the climate chaos “also want to offer moderate people a way into the resistance”, who have only taken part in protest marches so far.
Because: “Many people are still totally afraid of sticking themselves to the street, of confrontation with drivers, or even repression from the police,” said a climate sticker in an internal info call.
A lower-threshold form of protest is therefore needed. The planned so-called running blockades are similar to the protest marches that take place every Wednesday – only on a tiny scale.
