All six columns were affected, said a police spokesman on Sunday morning. Emergency forces were on the scene, there had been arrests. The Last Generation said that prepared fire extinguishers had been used for the action.
“The protest makes it clear: It is time for a political change,” the group said in a statement. “Away from fossil fuels — towards fairness.” The group best known for its protests in which activists glue themselves to roads and block traffic plays a provocative and polarizing role in German politics and society.
