Protest action - Climate activists spray Christmas trees with orange paint
The climate protection group Last Generation has sprayed Christmas trees in several German cities with orange paint. According to police reports, one Christmas tree was hit in Munich and one in Nuremberg on Wednesday. The activists used fire extinguishers filled with paint. In Munich, the activists will now be charged with damage to property. In Nuremberg, one activist was taken to the police station.
A large Christmas tree in front of the Bundesrat near Potsdamer Platz was also sprayed in Berlin. According to Last Generation, an elaborately decorated tree in Leipzig's Mädler Passage was also affected. The police cordoned off the area and are investigating. According to officials, a tree in Oldenburg was also painted by activists. According to the climate activists, there were also actions in Rostock and Kiel.
Photos showed demonstrators with placards reading "Contemplatively into disaster? Charity = climate protection". The group stated that despite "twinkling lights, shiny decorations and a festive atmosphere", climate change should not be forgotten and that the world is hurtling towards a future full of catastrophes.
The Last Generation has been demonstrating and protesting for more climate protection with street blockades and other actions since the beginning of 2022. Among other things, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin was sprayed with paint. Numerous investigations and trials are underway against members of the group, many of whom have already been convicted.
