Pressure is mounting in Germany on the Last Generation climate collective, whose members specialise in gluing themselves to tarmac. Following a series of police raids last month, activists say they are being unjustly criminalised but that the police action has led to a recruitment spike. As the international community marks World Environment Day, FRANCE 24 reports on a group sparking controversy in Germany.
A small group of people in a Berlin backyard shove and push each other while some are tackled from behind and physically carried away. It’s a civil disobedience training session for new recruits of Last Generation, a climate activist group specialised in blocking roads and critical infrastructure.
