Germany: Climate activists plan protest campaign in Kassel from Sept. 25

The climate group Last Generation (LG) plans a campaign of protests in Kassel, from Sept. 25. Activists will denounce the government investments in Kassel-Calden Airport (KSF). LG leaders announced a "wave of protests" starting Sept. 25, that will "last for several days". The events will include a "Disobedient Assembly" on Sept. 28, and further protests on Oct. 5 and Oct. 12. As of Sept. 23, the group has not announced further details, including other potential protest venues. Several hundred protestors may attend the larger events. On Sept. 21, a small group of activists sprayed paint on KSF airport buildings and glued themselves to the pavement near the entrance.

Authorities will likely deploy additional security to KSF airport and other potential protest sites. Protests and heightened security will likely prompt disruptions at the airport and its approaches. LG may also disrupt road traffic in the city center. Violence is unlikely although scuffles between protestors and police cannot be ruled out.
