In Magdeburg, activists are sitting on the B1 towards the city center at the level of the Elbe island of Großer Werder. Here, too, the number of participants was not initially known. There was also a protest action in Jena.
Half a dozen activists from the climate protection movement have meanwhile blocked the Deisterkreisel in Hanover. Two of the activists stuck to the asphalt, a police spokesman said. Because of the blockade, traffic is backing up on Bornumerstrasse, Deisterstrasse and Westschnellweg, among other places. Local public transport is also affected. Police advise avoiding the area. In Düsseldorf, members of the climate movement blocked traffic at Graf-Adolf-Platz.
With their protests, the activist group is reacting to the alleged failure of the federal government to have “not even taken the simplest security measures such as a speed limit”, wrote “Last Generation”.
