Climate activists of the “last generation” want to paralyze Berlin. To do this, they set up blockades at 23 locations in the city.
The climate activists of the “last generation” are serious: they set up blockades in 23 locations in the city on Monday, sometimes sticking themselves in place. This was announced by the press office of the Berlin police at the request of t-online. The places are mainly in the area in and around Charlottenburg. “From Ku’damm to Spandau,” said a police spokeswoman. However, the blockades are mainly small groups of people.
A total of 500 police forces in civilian clothes and uniforms are on duty in the city area on Monday and monitor traffic junctions. “In this way we can prevent blockages or at least react quickly to clear the road for traffic,” said the spokeswoman.
Berlin: Around 60 blockers in the morning alone
The exact number of activists is unclear. There were about 60 blockers early Monday morning, but at that point there were only 13 blockades. So the number is likely to be significantly higher.
According to a t-online reporter, individual blockades could be prevented. An action was stopped at Treptower Park, as the reporter reported, the police probably knew about it in advance. A squad car was there before the action began. Activists who tried to block a street anyway were stopped after seconds.
