Protests have occurred. - Latest graffiti at the Chancellery reads "Tell the truth!"
Police officials reported that activists were seen with posters but there was no authorized gathering. Two of these agitators decided to use a brush and black paint to scrawl a message on a nearby wall. By 10 a.m., authorities had ended the operation and cleaned the message away with a strong jet of water.
As claimed by the activists themselves, the message was directed towards Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz who had delivered a speech in the Bundestag earlier that day about the existing security situation. The Last Generation requested the Chancellor to address the fact that the climate catastrophe presents an imminent threat to both security and life.
In their own accounts, they had previously painted this demand on the exterior of the Willy-Brandt House where the SPD federal party headquarters reside. This demonstration was instigated by the recent announcement of two hunger strikers who claimed they would forgo drinking water.
The demands of climate protesters from the "Hunger until you're honest" initiative have been ongoing for weeks, urging Scholz to publicly admit that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment is dangerously high and that there isn't any remaining CO2 allowance.
