The climate protection group “Last Generation” wants to take action this weekend during the Berlin Marathon: Because there seems to be uncertainty about this: “Yes, we are interrupting the Berlin Marathon. We cannot run away from the climate catastrophe,” the group wrote in a press release on Friday morning.
At the beginning of this week, the Last Generation did not comment on whether they would also like to protest at events surrounding the marathon after their recent blockades in Berlin. It was said that no information could be given about this at this time.
The finish of the two marathons for skaters on Saturday and runners on Sunday is in the immediate vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate, which members of the group had defaced with orange paint on Sunday.
The police announce a ban
Berlin police announced a ban on protests at the marathon on Thursday. Regulations on this should be published on Friday. “Violations of this general order will be punished and result in a heavy fine,” the report said.
According to the police’s previous planning, around 650 police officers will be present this Sunday at the marathon with almost 50,000 participants to direct traffic and ensure safety. There will be 500 police officers present on Saturday. The event in Berlin is one of the most famous marathon races in the world and attracts many visitors. (SDA)
