For the “last generation” in Germany it has become “pasted out”.
They change their strategy.
In Austria, however, they continue to rely on adhesives.
Munich – The activists of the “Last Generation” earned their name as climate glue primarily through a practice.
In order to draw attention to the consequences of climate change and make people think again, members of the climate protection group have stuck themselves on countless streets.
Through their protest action, they not only aroused the displeasure of large sections of the population, but also incurred severe punishment.
Now the gluing is over.
The “Last Generation” has announced that it will change the strategy of its protests.
Road blockades should now be a thing of the past in Germany.
The group no longer needs the adhesive it has already purchased.
So what to do with it?
A pragmatic and high-profile solution was found in Berlin.
“Last Generation” is changing its strategy: climate glue is giving away glue
In keeping with the spirit of environmental protection, countless tubes of glue were not disposed of.
The “Last Generation” set up a stand on Alexanderplatz in Berlin where the glue was given away.
Cardboard signs with hearts on them read: “to be given away” and “we don’t need this anymore.”
As

writes, there were also some people interested in the free adhesive tubes.
It remains to be seen whether the announced end can also stimulate the recent lack of volunteers for the “Last Generation” campaigns.
From now on, no more climate glue: climate activists from the “Last Generation” of Germany gave away their glue in Berlin.

In view of the climate activists' announcement that they will forego sticking campaigns in the future, many drivers may breathe a sigh of relief.
Instead, the members of the “Last Generation” want to focus more on “disobedient gatherings” as well as “protests in places of destruction” and “direct confrontation with politicians,” according to the announcement.
Climate gluers in Germany say goodbye to glue – activists in Austria want to carry on
However, the new strategic direction of the “Last Generation” in Germany is not directly supported by sister organizations in other countries.
In Austria, climate activists do not want to give up sticking to the streets.
The spokesperson for the “Last Generation” in the southern neighboring country has announced that she will continue to rely on the sensational form of protest.
“We will continue with the sticking actions and combine them with other forms of protest,”
Marina Hagen-Canaval is quoted
as saying .

Hagen-Canaval justifies sticking to it with the media attention that comes with blockades: “Unfortunately, if we stand on a sidewalk somewhere with a sign, then unfortunately no one is interested.
But when we protest on the streets, there is corresponding media coverage,” explains the spokeswoman in an interview with the radio station

.
The next wave of sticking campaigns on Austria's streets is scheduled to start at the end of February.
