Munich CSU boss Ludwig Spaenle saw such papers on three vehicles alone and photographed them. The 58-year-old wrote on Facebook: "Climate desertlings: wanton property damage". Spaenle told tz : “As an old campaign professional, I immediately recognized that the notes were not simply stuck on. They were glued to it. Somebody really must have walked around with a glue bucket. ”The former minister is always at hand for political controversy. “You can have different opinions and debate about it.

We have to inhale the large amount of poison gas that they blow out at the back ( ...) Please stop destroying us and our environment immediately. "
On a second piece of paper, the scolding is much more radical. The sticker activists smash a simple “you stink” towards the SUV driver.

Munich: SUV driver reacts to common notes on car
Our message from July 19th:
Munich - SUV drivers don't have it easy. Especially in Munich. Too loud, too dirty, too showy - for many, sedans are synonymous with reckless consumption. An SUV driver from Schwabing has received a corresponding note.
One morning he found a sticker on his car near the North Bath, the message on it more than clearly: “Your car uses too many raw materials! Help us fight climate change and please rethink. Your SUV is neither cool nor sexy! Who wants to be the cliché of himself? "
SUV driver in Munich reacts to scolding: "Dear climate protector ..."
Some would have removed the sticker rigorously - but not the Schwabinger. A short time later, with two magnets, he fixed a handwritten answer on his SUV. Local resident Giorgia R. * recorded the exchange of words and sent it to our editorial team.
"Dear climate protector, thanks for the tip," the SUV driver begins and then turns to his critic with a few questions. The Schwabinger wants to know whether he is using green electricity and separating his rubbish. "Do you like to have a coffee-to-go? Do you support an association that is committed to the environment? Please write me down your phone number. I would be very happy to talk to you about this topic ”, you can read on the answer sheet.

Does his counterpart measure himself using the same standards as SUV drivers? The Schwabinger raised important questions in his letter. Giorgia R. is unable to say whether the duo recently exchanged views at an eco summit at Nordbad. But that the sticker activist did not strike for the first time.
She too was already a “victim”. "When I parked on a lowered curb in the evening, I had a sticker on my car the next morning," she reports with a smile. The unknown activist seems to have more than just moral laws in mind during his forays through Schwabing.
In Berlin four people die after being hit by a Porsche SUV. Politicians are now demanding consequences for the heavy vehicles. Also in Mallorca, a German recently died from the consequences of an accident with an SUV.
