The protest group Last Generation wants to participate in the EU elections in June. Spokesperson for the German department, Carla Hinrichs, announced this on Wednesday. “Now we want to take our resistance from the streets to parliament,” Hinrichs said. The group is known as those who do not mince their words. Now it is time to wake up the EU Parliament.
The Last Generation is the “voice of those willing to survive,” said Henning Jeschke, one of the group’s founders.
250,000 votes are needed to enter the EU Parliament
It is very close for the intended candidacy for the EU elections in June. Many would have said it couldn’t be done anymore. But in the European elections, a vote share of about 0.5 percent is sufficient, which is about 250,000 votes.
Now there is initially a ‘community challenge’: an attempt is being made to find 100 volunteers internally for the campaign and to raise 50,000 euros, according to Jeschke.
Founded in 2021
The group, founded in 2021 after a hunger strike, mainly organized roadblocks with glued activists for two years as a protest against what they considered to be too slow a climate policy. She recently announced that she would renounce this form of protest.
