After the brain death of a cyclist in Berlin, an activist from the protest group “Last Generation” is dismayed and expresses deep regret. At the same time he asks the media to stick to the facts and not “incite”.
The climate activists of the “Last Generation” have expressed dismay at the news of the brain death of a cyclist who was run over by a truck in Berlin on Monday. “It hits us deeply that the cyclist who was seriously injured in an accident by a cement mixer in Berlin on Monday has now been declared brain dead,” said activist Henning Jeschke.
According to the fire brigade, the arrival of a rescue vehicle that was supposed to rescue the woman last Monday was delayed due to a traffic jam. As the fire brigade explained, this in turn was triggered by a protest action by the group “Last Generation”. However, a fire brigade spokesman admitted that the formation of a rescue lane was also problematic given the size of the vehicle.
Since the incident, the climate activists have been increasingly attacked on social networks and made directly responsible for the woman’s brain death.
“Last Generation” member Jeschke also reacted to this: “We hear a lot of information, including untruths, spread by the big media. We should stick to safe facts, as we did in the climate catastrophe,” he explained. “We call on the media to present reality as such without inciting incitement.”
When asked whether the woman’s brain death would change anything about the protests, he said: “As long as our highest political bodies break our common constitution with the announcement, because they are destroying our livelihoods, we will resist peacefully.”
The time is over when politicians could get away “with nice words about ‘climate protection’,” Jeschke explained. He had already taped himself to the streets and, according to information from “Letzte Generation”, had already been sentenced to a fine by a court.
