Cologne, Leipzig, Mannheim, Bremen, 8:30 a.m – For the sixth time in a row, citizens of the last generation are blocking highways and main traffic arteries across the country at the beginning of the week. They are demanding a declaration from Olaf Scholz that the construction of new fossil fuel infrastructure will be stopped immediately and, in particular, that there will be no new oil drilling in the North Sea. Citizens on the streets are calling on their fellow human beings to join their peaceful resistance.
Raul Semmler (37), actor and screenwriter, when asked why he was blocking the road in Mannheim today: “Although our federal government knows that oil, coal and gas are destroying our future, it continues to expand the fossil fuel infrastructure. If more and more people refuse to obey this fossil madness, we can still stop climate collapse. This now requires peaceful but determined resistance from us citizens.”
And while he's stuck to the road: “We no longer have time to just continue to rely on petitions and go to demonstrations. We all have to ask ourselves: what is our responsibility in the two to three years in which we can still leave the fossil path of destruction? We regularly invite you to lectures all over Germany and encourage everyone to come out on the streets with us in Berlin from June 18th. Fight with us for renewable peace and freedom technologies!”
During the day, the Last Generation is planning blockades in other German cities. She also announced to the federal government in an open letter on June 3rd that she would again provide peaceful resistance centrally in Berlin from June 18th. Far more people than in January will turn the highways there into places of peaceful civil resistance.
