Some of them also lingered. There were long queues. According to the police, there were physical altercations between motorists and blockers in the Friedrichshain district.
The “Last Generation” protest group said some of its people were wearing black and white striped prisoner clothes to protest protesters being locked up in Munich because of repeated blockades. They demanded more action against climate change from the German government.
The group had blocked streets almost every day for the past few weeks. There was strong criticism when a special vehicle of the Berlin fire brigade got stuck in traffic during a blockade on October 31. The vehicle was intended to help rescue a seriously injured cyclist. The woman died a few days later. Numerous politicians are calling for tougher action against the blockers and the activists have been attacked on the internet.
The fire service had initially said that the rescue of the woman had been delayed because the special vehicle was stuck in traffic. According to a newspaper report, the fact that the fire truck was not available had no effect on the rescue of the cyclist, according to the doctor on duty at the scene.
The police and public prosecutor are still investigating the accident, the question of guilt and the course of the rescue measures. It also concerns a possible allegation of disability of persons providing assistance.
