Last generation - Last generation demonstrates against LNG terminal
Climate activists from the Last Generation have called for a demonstration near the Rügen Terminal for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) on Saturday afternoon (13:00). It is scheduled to start in Sassnitz. According to a spokesperson, the police expect around 200 participants. "On Rügen, an LNG terminal is being built, despite the population's objections and the resulting massive environmental damage," wrote the Last Generation in their call-to-action, which was disseminated via the short message service X (formerly Twitter). On Sunday and Monday, further actions are reportedly planned - for example, a reading and a discussion round.
The Federal Government defends the Rügen Terminal by referring to supply security. In light of the Russian attack on Ukraine, it has accelerated the expansion of its own LNG import infrastructure to become less dependent on Russian gas.
- The demonstration organized by Climate Activists from Last Generation will take place near the contested LNG terminal in Sassnitz, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, on Saturday at 13:00.
- Despite the vocal opposition from the local population and significant environmental damage, the construction of an LNG terminal continues in Rügen, a decision that has caught the attention of environmental advocates like Last Generation.
- Germany, seeking energy security in the face of Russia's attack on Ukraine, has accelerated the development of its own Liquefied Natural Gas import infrastructure, including the controversial terminal in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which is the main focus of the planned demonstration.
- On Sunday and Monday, subsequent activities, such as a reading and a discussion round, have been planned by the Last Generation in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, following the Saturday demonstration against the LNG terminal in Sassnitz.
