Germany: Climate activists plan demonstration on Tauentzienstrasse, Berlin, Feb. 3
Climate activists plan demonstration on Tauentzienstrasse, Berlin, Germany from 13:00 Feb. 3. Heightened security, disruptions likely.
Environmental activists plan to demonstrate on Tauentzienstrasse, Berlin, from 13:00 Feb. 3. Last Generation and other campaign groups are calling for an end to fossil fuel investments. The protest will likely block the Kurfurstendamm and other nearby thoroughfares. Several thousand will likely take part, based on previous events. Further protests are possible in major cities nationwide.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy additional police to monitor the demonstration. Heightened security and road closures will likely prompt travel disruptions including public transport operations. The event will likely pass off peacefully. Activists may also conduct civil disobedience at government buildings or fossil fuel-related businesses.
Avoid all protest sites if possible. Check for disruptions before beginning journeys and plan alternative routes if necessary. Heed instructions from authorities and do not attempt to pass through roadblocks.
The Last Generation (LG) group conducted near-daily roadblock protests in Berlin for several months throughout 2023. However, as of Jan. 29 the group announced an end to roadblock protests, to focus on large-scale demonstrations.
