Climate activists cut the Christmas tree in front of the Brandenburg Gate

Climate activists from the group “Last Generation” sawed off the top of the Christmas tree in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. On a lifting platform, two people rolled out a banner at Pariser Platz in Berlin-Mitte that said “This is just the top of the Christmas tree,” a police spokeswoman said.

Then they drove to the top of the 15 meter high Nordmann fir tree with the lifting platform during the protest action on Wednesday morning.
