The climate activists of the last generation want to protest more in the cities of the Free State from next week. The start is on Monday afternoon in Würzburg, after which it will go south to Munich, the climate activists announced on Thursday on the sidelines of the ceremony on the occasion of the 1948 constitutional convention on the island of Herrenchiemsee.
The activists did not announce exactly where and when which actions are planned. They also left open whether and in what form the International Motor Show IAA, which takes place in the state capital from September 5th to 10th, could be the target of the protests. In any case, from Monday there will be “repeatedly peaceful civil resistance” across the entire state, it said. “We are taking to the streets in Bavaria because we are protesting against the federal government’s breach of the constitution in the state where our constitution was written 75 years ago,” said the 73-year-old activist Ernst Hörmann, explaining the announcement.
Activist Anja Windl accused the assembled politicians – including Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Bavarian State President Ilse Aigner and Prime Minister Markus Söder (both CSU) – of breaking the constitution by handing the population over to the climate catastrophe without protection. On Thursday, a big ceremony in the magnificent Hall of Mirrors of the New Castle on Herrenchiemsee commemorated the local constitutional convention, which in August 1948 worked out a constitution in just two weeks, which ultimately became decisive for the drafting of the German Basic Law.
