The protest actions of the Last Generation have now also reached Sylt. During a spraying operation, the activists had a prominent witness.
Sylt – The color attacks of climate activists of the last generation on Sylt have recently caused a lot of excitement with a colorful protest action. In the case of a witness, the thread of patience broke – he turned the tables and sprayed the climate activists with paint. Even the former racing driver and current TV pundit Ralf Schumacher had enough. He filmed the spraying action and called for a much tougher crackdown on the young protesters via Instagram.
Activists of the Last Generation spray luxury shops on Sylt – police react immediately
The activists of the Last Generation, who announced a demonstration and a protest march in Bavaria at the end of May after a raid, are currently apparently targeting Sylt. On 6 June, a private jet was the target at the Sylt airfield. Without further ado, they sprayed him with paint.
A few days later, the next paint attack followed: armed with fire extinguishers full of orange paint, they sprayed a jewelry store and a luxury boutique on June 17. The police then took six protesters between the ages of 21 and 63 into custody.

In their colorful protest, the activists had a prominent witness: In an Instagram video, Ralf Schumacher documented the spraying action. When he entered the scene, the protest action was already in full swing.
Without further ado, he asked an obviously indignant witness to the protest action of the Last Generation. She vented her anger loudly: "I thought it was impossible, I think it's very, very bad. My husband is also fighting back right now." At the edge of the picture, a man in a white T-shirt can be seen spraying the activists with green paint – while his wife loudly encourages him to do so.

Ralf Schumacher is outraged by climate activists of the last generation – and receives support
The filming Ralf Schumacher, meanwhile, also outs himself critically about the actions of the activists of the last generation in his text to the Instagram video. What is happening on Sylt right now is "unbelievable". He can only hope that "tougher action will finally be taken."
He also seems to have identified the culprit for the colourful protest on Sylt: In his opinion, the climate protection activist and publicist Luisa Neubauer "encouraged these people and described their behaviour as justified" in the talk show with Markus Lanz.
There is a similar tone in the comments on his Instagram post. One user even calls for all the spraying climate activists to be locked away. From the point of view of another user, the protesters are "affluent plagues who have achieved NOTHING in life".

The "Last Generation" justify their protest – in Bavaria, too, they are targeting the super-rich
But why Sylt of all places? Members of the Last Generation justified their protest via Twitter: Those who go shopping in luxury stores endanger "the lives of others with their lifestyle". After all, the richest one percent of Germans emit "almost 10 times as much CO2 as average citizens".
Fittingly, the banner with which the activists presented themselves in front of the freshly sprayed Sylt building reads: "That's why we ask once again: Mr. Scholz, for whom are you doing politics?"
The spraying action of the Last Generation on Sylt is part of the campaign of activists against the super-rich – protests are also said to be planned in Bavaria.
