Climate activists of the “Last Generation” have sprayed black paint on the facade of the German Football Association campus in Frankfurt.
“Black like the oil that Germany buys from bloody regimes,” said the protest group about their action on Wednesday morning before the 1:2 Germany against Japan at the World Cup in Qatar.
In the context of the World Cup, this should set an example against “bloody deals by the federal government and large corporations such as FIFA”. According to the police, two activists were temporarily arrested. She is being investigated for damage to property.
Reflecting on controversial World Cup hosts Qatar and the tournament, The Last Generation asked: “What’s the fun? What is the game when it is played on the backs of the global South, on the backs of the poor, on the backs of our future?”
The “last generation” called on the federal government to save energy decisively – “in the fight against the climate catastrophe, to end dependency on criminal governments and for the observance of human rights. A speed limit and a return to the 9-euro ticket would be the very first measures here.”
