The Last Generation’s Climate Rebellionhttps://www.noemamag.com/the-last-generations-climate-rebellion/On May 23, Chancellor Scholz called Last Generation’s protests “completely idiotic.” The next day, Bavarian law enforcement led a national raid on the activists. They seized their website, calling the group a “criminal organization” and warning that donations to it were illegal; they also seized the server hosting Bläul’s personal website, confiscated his electronic devices, and searched his girlfriend and his father’s apartments. On June 23, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported Bavarian investigators had been tapping the group’s press hotline since October. Berlin police, who counted 18 attacks on Last Generation activists in 2022, registered 84 between January and June 2023 alone.
And still, it got warmer and warmer.
