“Last Generation” Climate Activists Trigger Traffic Meltdown in Hamburg, but Walk Free on Maundy Thursday

Hamburg – The chaotic laugh up their sticky fists!

On Maundy Thursday, members of the “Last Generation” campaign triggered a traffic meltdown around Hamburg with hour-long blockades. The police took more than 20 climate stickers into custody. But anyone who thinks that they will be in a cell at least for Easter is wrong.

In the evening at 7 p.m. everyone was free again!

“That’s what the criminal police decided,” said an officer in the police situation service on Good Friday. “Presumably because there were no grounds for detention or detention.”

That means: None of the chaotic people were even brought before a judge – capitulation!

The blockades on the Elbe Tunnel, on the Veddeler Damm and on the New Elbe Bridge/B75 affected three out of four major Elbe crossings. Easter travel was backed up by up to 20 kilometers on the A 1 towards Lübeck alone, and 15 kilometers on the A 7 from Fleestedt. Nothing worked on the A 255 either.

The “Last Generation” had announced actions for Hamburg until Maundy Thursday. Since the end of March, several climate protectors have been arrested to avert danger. In the end, four chaotic people were behind bars, and their detention expired on Maundy Thursday evening.
