Greifswald (dpa / mv) - A few hours before the planned protests by the Fridays for Future movement against the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea gas pipeline, the police caught two sprayers in Greifswald in the act.

The 22 and 24-year-old students from Greifswald were there on Monday evening to apply various lettering on the sidewalk at the town hall and the surrounding concrete bollards, which were directed against the completion of the gas pipeline.

Officials provided the women who had to remove the slogans.

The Fridays for Future movement had announced protests in Schwerin and Lubmin near Greifswald for Tuesday.

This should be directed primarily against a foundation initiated by the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which is supposed to enable the completion of the gas pipeline despite the threatened sanctions from the USA.

The environmental movement called natural gas a "fossil fuel that is extremely harmful to the climate".

Wanting to promote construction with a climate protection foundation sounds like a bad joke.

The pipeline is to land in Lubmin.

The head of government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Manuela Schwesig (SPD), considers natural gas and the gas pipeline to be indispensable as “bridging technology” for energy supply.
