Climate activists painted Berlin’s famous Brandenburg Gate orange and yellow to demand an end to fossil fuel use by 2030.
A group called the “Last Generation” in Germany painted the east side columns of Brandenburg Gate with orange spray paint from fire extinguishers on Sunday morning
The police prevented them from climbing the building and arrested all 14 protesters.
The Last Generation, part of the Europe-wide A22 network that includes Britain’s Just Stop Oil, has gained attention in Germany for organizing protests that block roads.
They insist on a shift away from fossil fuels and demand their elimination by 2030. Germany aims for zero net emissions by 2045 but has fallen short of its yearly targets for the past two years.
