REPORT - Residents threatened by the exploitation of the second largest open-cast lignite mine in Europe and environmental activists express muffled anger against the CDU candidate.


Special Envoy to Keyenberg and Lützerath

The cry of joy resounds in the midst of the beet and potato fields.

Beret on his head, the activist of the Bund association proudly proclaims at the microphone of his traveling sound system:

"We have succeeded!"

Keyenberg and Lützerath are united thanks to you.

Well done!"

Connected by yellow ribbons of one meter fifty on which it is inscribed "Kohle stoppen, Klima schützen" ("Stop coal, protect the climate"), the human chain of 4 kilometers between the two villages rejoices.

Most of them are activists traveling through Germany, depending on the ecological battles.

Others are residents of surrounding villages threatened by the exploitation of Garzweiler II.

It is the second largest open-cast lignite mine in Europe, a hole as vast and deep as a large lake, with different strata ranging from light beige to black.
