Augsburg (dpa / lby) - After a protest by members of the Augsburg climate camp, the police are investigating the activists. The demonstrators had occupied the Swabian government in Augsburg on Thursday and put up a protest banner.
It was about an officially approved clearing of a forest a few days ago to expand a steel mill. In a press release, the spokesman for the camp said that the district president could be corrupt and therefore allowed the trees to be felled.
According to a spokesman for the government agency, three people broke into the presidium rooms. The police reported that the demonstrators were taken to the station for further investigation. A police spokesman said there was at least trespassing.
The government announced that criminal charges would be filed against the occupation and the false allegations. The allegations against the authority, among other things, corruption are "completely untenable and incomprehensible," said a spokesman. He also pointed out that the government agency was not responsible for clearing the forest. You have only granted a species protection permit for 18 trees that may have been inhabited by bats.
