    Robin Wood statement details climate and extremism grievances

    In a statement distributed at the protest site, Robin Wood explained they were protesting against the CDU-led federal government's climate policy, specifically criticizing planned gas power plant expansion and what they view as restrictions on renewable energy growth. The group also demanded clearer action to counter the rise of the far-right AfD.

    “Wir protestieren gegen die Politik der CDU-geführten Bundesregierung, die Klimaschutz hinten runterfallen lässt und keine Konzepte hat, um den Aufstieg der rechtsextremen AfD zu stoppen.”
    — Robin Wood
