Treehouse protests against Tesla continue. Around 100 activists came together in the forest near the electric car factory on Thursday.

The police do not want to dismantle the camp for the time being. The protests can continue until mid-March, the authorities announced. Eastern Commissioner Carsten Schneider advises companies to advertise themselves to local people. He says industrial settlements in East Germany are no longer a sure-fire success. The value for phosphorus has been five times above the official limit since the opening of the Tesla factory almost two years ago.
