The adhesive blockades of the last generation in road traffic are controversial.

An aggressive driver attacked some climate activists in Dresden.

Dresden – Numerous activists in Germany have dedicated themselves to the fight against climate change.

They call on the federal government to take stricter measures than before.

The last generation group's pasting campaigns are particularly in the public eye.

A journalist recently provided a behind-the-scenes look at climate activists.

The group repeatedly causes trouble with drivers who get stuck in traffic due to the blockades of glued activists.

Adhesive blockade of the last generation in Dresden - motorists step on climate activists

In Dresden on Monday (March 20) a sticking action by climate activists escalated.

A motorist became violent when his car failed to get past a group of the Last Generation.

A video posted to Last Generation's Twitter channel shows the incident.

A man in a red jacket and black baseball cap ran up to the air-conditioning stickers and yelled at them.

"Go.

Go away,” he yells at a glued activist and kicks him multiple times.

A voice can be heard in the background, a man says to the aggressive driver: "Stop it!" The latter, in turn, claims that his passenger's health is not good.

"The man with me is sick," says the emotionally charged man in the red jacket and bumps into another climate sticker.

Whether this claim is true or not cannot be verified.

Nor is it possible that the man was prevented from taking the supposedly ill passenger to a hospital by the blockage of the air-conditioning stickers.

🦺 We are sorry to disturb you.

But we cannot allow the federal government to destroy our livelihoods irretrievably.

After his attack and the loud tantrum, the man in the red jacket takes a few steps away from the climate activists.

But then he comes back.

The driver kicked a poster of the protest group, which was being held by a woman and a man, with full force.

Had his kick landed just a little further to the left, the man could have caught the woman's hand as well, possibly injuring her.

As the Dresden police

confirmed, the driver must expect consequences for his attack on the climate activists.

"We are investigating unknown persons," said a police spokesman.

After the attack, the man left the scene before the police arrived.

The police have also launched a preliminary investigation into the violation of the Assembly Act and coercion against the Klima-Kleber.

Again and again arguments between climate stickers and drivers

It is not the first incident of this kind in Germany in recent weeks and months.

Again and again, the incomprehension of some citizens about the actions of the last generation turns into physical attacks.

The fundamental fight against climate change is rated positively.

The decision of the last generation to use civil disobedience, however, is not always the case.

And actions of the last generation, in which works of art are attacked, always cause a stir.

The rapid intervention of the police also recently prevented a road blockade.
