Members of the Last Generation group glued themselves to a road in Berlin, causing a traffic jam for commuters driving into the city
Climate activists staged a 10th straight day of protests in Berlin, blocking key roads during rush hour and bringing parts of the German capital to a standstill Friday before being removed by police.
Last Generation has acknowledged that its protests are provocative, but it argues that by stirring friction it can encourage debate within society about“Sure, there are those who insult or criticize us,” activist Theodor Schnarr said. “But I’ve got the feeling that more and more people are coming to us on the streets and saying they think this is a good thing.”
Berlin police said that about 500 officers were deployed to deal with more than a dozen blockades Friday. “We just think the path taken by the climate movement, or some of these activists, is the wrong path for drawing attention to this,” she told reporters.
