Although they are now increasingly targeted by the police and the judiciary, the latest generation of climate activists want to continue to protest. Spokeswoman Aimée van Baalen emphasized in a press conference that people should not be intimidated. The measures are more likely to spread across the country, she announced and called on all Germans to participate.
“The 15 house searches that took place this morning have hit all Last Generation supporters hard. They scare us. But we must not remain in this fear,” said van Baalen. You must now resist. “That is why we call on all citizens of this country to participate in our protest marches,” the climate activist appealed to the population.
A few hours after the press conference, the first protest march took place in Berlin. Munich will follow on Thursday and Frankfurt on Friday. The fact that no questions from journalists were allowed at the press conference caused a stir. A disgruntled member of the press grumbled, “You have to endure so much democracy.”
