Lützerath. Former politician Lilly Blaudszun has made her Instagram account available to activists from Lützerath. In a post, the group “SPD.Klima.Gerecht” criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz and called on him to act.
“You started as climate chancellor. That’s why we supported you in the election campaign,” wrote the activists. In their contribution, they appeal to Olaf Scholz and the SPD: “Do justice to social democratic values and future generations and put an end to this climate-destroying madness here in Lützerath and everywhere we have an influence. Stop the eviction.”
Thousands of people have been demonstrating in and around Lützerath, which has been cordoned off by the police, for days. The buildings of the small settlement on the territory of the city of Erkelenz are currently being demolished to enable the energy company RWE to excavate the coal underneath. After the protests initially remained peaceful, the situation escalated over the weekend.
