Künast criticizes actions: "Last Generation" protests at the Brandenburg Gate

Activists of the "Last Generation" want to attract attention again and again: they are currently climbing the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and unfurling a poster. Green politician Künast criticizes the protest forms of climate protection. She wants to talk about content, not mashed potatoes.

Climate protection activists demonstrated at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. There they hung up a banner there in the morning, which read, among other things: "We wish for everyone to survive."

The protest group "Last Generation" announced that they were calling for solidarity on the day the Wall fell. "On the day of cohesion, we as a society are on the brink," the statement said. The group is calling for more decisive action against climate change and was recently criticized for road blockades, among other things.

Green politician Renate Künast, for example, sharply criticized the actions of the climate group. "I want us to make progress on the matter, but we've been discussing for days whether mashed potatoes on works of art is a suitable form of demonstration," the 66-year-old told Stern magazine. The group made it into the "Tagesschau", said Künast. "But that hasn't changed anything."

Climate activists from the group "Last Generation" have been blocking important roads and sticking themselves to the asphalt for months. In this way they want to emphasize their call for a more decisive fight against climate change. Most recently, they also smeared party headquarters in Berlin and threw mashed potatoes on a Monet painting in the Barberini Museum in Potsdam.

"We have to convince people and find majorities," emphasized the former leader of the Greens. On the consequences of the accidental death of the cyclist in Berlin, Künast said: "To say after a death, we are radical, we just keep going, that's not enough for me."
