Climate activists from the Last Generation group blocked traffic in Berlin on Monday morning with blockades in more than 30 places. A Berlin police spokeswoman said there had been protests in 33 places so far, including on the 100 city highway, where activists held to the streets.
The blockades started around 07:30, in the middle of rush hour. In the morning, the districts of Spandau and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf were the first to be hit. The police was present with about 500 agents to break through or prevent blockades. The police spokeswoman spoke of a “dynamic situation”.
Not only commuters and travelers are at a standstill, ambulances are also unable or difficult to get through. According to the police, 15 ambulances have been affected so far, according to the “Tagesspiegel”. They couldn’t go on.
The climate protection group had announced it would use blockades to paralyze traffic in Berlin in protest of the federal government’s climate policies. In recent weeks and also during the weekend there were already actions. Activists spray-painted the windows of several shops on Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm, others tried to cling to the circuit of a Formula E race, according to the group. (AFP/jmh)
