Researchers searched rooms of climate activists from the group “Last Generation” across Germany. Prosecutor Cyrill Klement in Brandenburg Neuruppin said on Tuesday that there are eleven objects across Germany. “Just over eleven people” are under investigation for disrupting public services. But the suspicion of the formation of a criminal organization is also being investigated.
The background to this, according to Klement, are several attacks by climate activists since April on factories of the PCK Schwedt refinery. Among other things, the oil supply was interrupted. In some cases it was just an attempt. Klement explained that suspicion of forming a criminal organization can arise if the suspect repeatedly makes arrangements to commit crimes.
“Attempted Harassment”
The group “Last Generation” spoke of an “attempted harassment” in a tweet. “We stand behind what we do with face and name – if there is a need for information, no search is necessary,” the group said in the statement.
Since the spring, group activists have interrupted the oil supply to the PCK Schwedt refinery several times at pumping stations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg. For this, activists had invaded the site of the pumping stations. According to Klement, an object in Brandenburg was searched.
With 1,200 jobs, PCK Schwedt is the leading refinery to fuel East German gas stations. Due to the planned oil embargo against Russia starting next year, the federal and state governments have been trying for months to find alternative supply routes for the refinery.
Time and again, the “last generation” climate activists make a name for themselves with roadblocks clinging to the asphalt. After climate activists invaded runways, air traffic at Berlin and Munich airports was also disrupted. In numerous museums, activists have sprayed and glued artworks with liquids to draw attention to their concern for more climate protection. Activists are also active in Austria.
