German climate activists sprayed orange paint onto Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate over the weekend to push the German government to take action against climate change.
Members of the group the “Last Generation” used fire extinguishers filled with paint to spray all six columns of the landmark in Germany’s capital.
The group wants Germany to stop using all fossil fuels by 2030 and impose a general speed limit on highways to cut emissions.
“The protest makes it clear: It is time for a political change,” the group said in a statement. “Away from fossil fuels – towards fairness.”
From Breitbart:
Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner condemned the group’s actions, saying their tactics go beyond legitimate forms of protest. “With these actions, this group is not only damaging the historic Brandenburg Gate, but also our free discourse about the important issues of our time and future,” he told German news agency dpa.
