According to a representative survey, almost 70 percent of people in Baden-Württemberg are in favor of higher penalties for activists from the last generation.
According to a new survey, around two-thirds of people in Baden-Württemberg are in favor of tougher action against climate activists from the last generation group. 68 percent of those surveyed demand that protest actions be punished more severely. This is what Privat.Radio reported on Wednesday as the client of the “Baden-Württemberg Report” survey. Privat.Radio is an association of private radio stations in the country.
Only a minority of respondents – six percent – support the representative survey, according to the climate activists. Another 20 percent are against tougher action because they believe laws and penalties are sufficient. Another six percent of the participants were undecided.
Climate activist sentenced to imprisonment without parole
Only recently, the district court of Heilbronn had sentenced two activists from the Last Generation group to several months in prison without parole because of a road blockade. They were charged with coercion. According to a spokeswoman for the group, it was the first non-parole sentence that activists of the group had been sentenced to. On February 6, the men had glued themselves to a street.
The current issue of the “Baden-Württemberg Report” also revealed that almost two-thirds of those surveyed (65 percent) see industry as the biggest driver of climate change. This is followed by “fossil energy sources” with 42 percent, “air travel” with 41 percent and “food from overseas” (35 percent). Car traffic only ranks fifth at 32 percent.
