It starts on Thursday. From then on, climate stickers want to make the state capital their protest stronghold. The police have an appeal for motorists. And follows up with a request.
The activists of the Last Generation are turning words into deeds: As announced, there was a major action in Regensburg on Tuesday in which the access roads to the BMW plant there were blocked. How useful this is during the car manufacturer's factory holidays, of all things, must be known to the climate adhesives themselves. In any case, they have sent two of their most prominent faces onto the asphalt: spokeswoman Carla Hinrichs and the blonde Anja Windl, who has become known as "Climate Shakira". It remains to be seen whether the two will also take to the streets in Munich tomorrow. One thing is clear: the police are taking seriously the announcement that they will turn the state capital into a climate protest stronghold from Thursday and are preparing for a busy day.
"Meetings and other actions are expected throughout the city, the exact locations are not known," the presidium said. Spokesman Andreas Franken does not want to give too much insight into the tactics. Suffice it to say that emergency services will be ready to intervene. And: The activists are to be strictly prevented from being able to get stuck anywhere at all.
Those affected should stay cool despite the heat
Where there are protests, the climate stickers do not reveal. In the past, they liked to sit on the roads around the Stachus or block signs on the motorways. Several exits from the ring were also affected. So far, however, no one has dared to completely paralyze Munich's main traffic artery. In the run-up to Christmas, when Munich had to witness a large number of actions, the most active people migrated to Stadelheim. There they were locked up by court order because they announced the repetition of their crimes. Is the current wave of protests being similarly harsh? "We are in close contact with the Ministry of the Interior," Franken explains. He does not rule out preventive measures. Basically, everyone should expect traffic jams. "The Munich Police Headquarters advises people to switch to public transport if possible and to avoid motor vehicles in the inner city area in particular." Second request of the law enforcement officers: Stay cool despite high temperatures if you are affected by the consequences of a climate action.
