German environmentalists to run for European elections

Berlin, Feb 8 (Prensa Latina) The German environmentalist group Last Generation (Letzte Generation), aspires to run in this year's European elections, its spokesperson, Carla Hinrichs, announced.

We now want to take our resistance from the streets to Parliament, the spokesperson said at an online conference.

Last Generation is the voice of those who are willing to survive, Henning Jeschke, one of the group’s founders, added.

To initiate the bid, the spokeswoman called for what she called a Community Challenge, with a view to finding 100 internal volunteers and raising €50,000.

The group, founded in 2021, has been organizing street and road blockades by sticking to the asphalt for two years to protest against what they considered too slow a policy on climate change.

Recently, they announced that they would stop this form of protest.
