Protests erupt. - Multitudes of individuals participate in climate protests in Hamburg and Kiel.
On a somewhat rainy day, as per police reports, approximately 1800 individuals gathered in Hamburg to show their support for environmental protection and democracy last Friday. According to representatives from the Fridays for Future movement, the expected turnout was around 4700 attendees who responded to their call. This number is smaller than anticipated, as the organizers initially intended to attract a crowd of around 15,000 people.
A representative for Fridays for Future in Hamburg remarked that those in attendance were incredibly passionate about their cause. Various individuals were seen dancing and displaying their enthusiasm before the rally began near the main stage.
The singer Lina, who was slated to perform at the climate demonstration, unexpectedly pulled out at the last minute on Friday. This decision was influenced by her belief that Fridays for Future Hamburg doesn't do enough to disavow antisemitism and taken necessary steps to deter antisemitic material from being widely displayed at their public demonstrations.
Lina Larissa Strahl, who had most recently appeared on the cinema stage as Bibi Blocksberg, can currently be seen in the RTL program "Let's Dance."
A parallel climate protest took place in Kiel, where roughly 800 people participated, although the initial estimate was of 1000 attendees. These events aim to draw attention to the severity of the climate crisis before Europe's elections take place. Additionally, Fridays for Future is advocating for a clear stance against the rising trend towards the right-wing by urging thoughtful voting decisions.
This demonstration in Hamburg is part of a larger European climate strike, which is connected to the European election. Over a dozen nations have planned similar actions, with over 100 demonstrations registered in Germany.
