Climate activists of the “last generation” have spray-painted luxury shops on Berlin’s Ku’damm. Passers-by grumble wildly about the action.
Berlin – Climate activists from the group “Last Generation” have smeared paint on several luxury shops on Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm. On Saturday morning, April 22, 2023, the activists sprayed the orange paint with fire extinguishers on shop windows and facades of Gucci, Prada and Rolex. “We can no longer afford the rich,” said the group’s posters. Also: “Your luxury = our climate collapse”.
Climate activists spray luxury shops in Berlin: “Last generation” is wildly insulted on the street and on the Internet
Such attacks are intended to continue to draw attention to the group’s goals. The action brought the climate activists a lot of attention, but also wild insults from passers-by, reports the Bild. At Twitter the spraying action caused some violent comments.
“Criminals remain criminals”, “disgusting criminals of the climate sect”, who believe “in the delusion that they can destroy everything in order to enforce their demands”, “we must not tolerate that” and the question: “When will our constitutional state finally take action?” – these are just some of the reactions to the action of the “Last Generation”.
CSU regional group leader Dobrindt calls for tougher penalties for climate glue – Justice Minister Buschmann (FDP) against it
A police spokesman said that Editorial network Germany (RND), the people involved would be checked. Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP) has now made it clear that he rejects harsher penalties for climate activists. In Germany there is no deficit in many places, there are too few laws. On the other hand, he would like “that we enforce the laws that we have better,” the minister continued.
The richest Germans emit a thousand times as many greenhouse gases as the average. While ordinary people have to bear the consequences, a few can still buy their freedom for a long time from the catastrophic consequences of the climate catastrophe, which they have played a major role in causing.
Buschmann drew a comparison to the street battle-like conditions in Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s. “I haven’t seen anyone say that this description of the 1920s and 1930s is wrong,” says Buschmann. Contrary to this, the opinion of CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt – he advocates tougher penalties for the climate stickers.
“Last generation” sprayed Gucci and Prada shops with paint – several works of art were also daubed by the climate activists
The action of the climate activists also caused a stir when they recently stuck themselves to a climate-neutral coach and with their blockade again paralyzed road traffic in Berlin for a long time. The activists of the “last generation” first caused a stir by attacking paintings by well-known painters, which they smeared with tomato soup or mashed potatoes last year in Potsdam, Berlin and Munich, among other places. A painting by Vincent Van Gogh was also targeted by the activists. They doused the artwork with vegetable soup in a museum in Rome.
Actions of this kind meanwhile cause incomprehension among many citizens. Mountaineering legend Reinhold Messner also spoke recently. “They just do terror‘ he said in reference to the ‘Last Generation’. From Messner’s point of view, something else is needed: “We have to get to the people with science and stories to get them to the point where they help to slow down and stop global warming.” The protests of “Fridays for Future ’ Messner, on the other hand, shows significantly more sympathy.
For the coming weeks, the climate stickers have announced “standstill” in Berlin. After the most recent protests on Ku’damm, things should really get going on Monday (April 24).
