The leading climate activist Greta Thunberg wants to come to the brown coal town of Lützerath for protests.
According to dpa information, the young Swede will take part in a demonstration on Saturday (from 12 p.m.) against the evacuation of the town in the Rhenish lignite mining area occupied by climate activists.
Thunberg had already traveled to Lützerath in September 2021 to demonstrate against coal mining and for compliance with the 1.5-degree climate target - one day before the federal elections at the time.
Stockholm – Climate protectionists are protesting against the evictions in numerous German cities these days.
According to the climate protection movement Fridays for Future, a protest was planned in Munich on Thursday and in Hamburg on Friday.
On Saturday, people from over 50 places should travel together to Lützerath.
On site in Lützerath, the police began to clear the occupied town on Wednesday.
The clearance is intended to create the basis for the energy company RWE to be able to mine the lignite lying beneath the site for power generation.
