Anyone who still had doubts as to whether the actions of the “last generation” were dangerous should have changed their mind after this week at the latest.

Activists rushed onto the tarmac at Berlin Airport and paralyzed operations for a few hours.

On video, they can be seen walking through a large hole in the security fence, even their bikes fit through.

Investigators have to clarify whether the hole in the fence was there before or whether the activists are responsible for it.

In any case, their protest has reached a new level.

Walking around a federal security perimeter is different than being stuck on a street.

It puts more people at risk.

Just how negligent the activists are was particularly evident this week, but it's nothing new.

From the start, they accepted endangering people.

In Berlin alone, they disabled 17 rescue vehicles, according to a request to the Berlin Senate.

The rescuers arrived late at the scene thirteen times.

Once they were stuck in traffic with a patient who needed resuscitation.

An activist has been released 27 times

The "Last Generation" wants to continue their protests until members of parliament meet their demands, such as a speed limit on the motorway or a 9-euro ticket.

But no state and no member of parliament has to be blackmailed.

Citizens determine how they secure the future of their planet, not a radical minority.

One only has to imagine what would happen if everyone pushed through their goals like this.

Suppose young anti-abortionists glued themselves to the streets and then went on talk shows to keep going until every abortion is prosecuted.

The invitations to talk shows would quickly come to an end.

There would soon be severe penalties for this.

It should be the same for climate activists.

Hardness would be appropriate in many cases.

Penalties are known to act as a deterrent.

So far, little has been seen of such an effect on the activists.

Many stick themselves to the streets again and again, one was even released 27 times, which also emerges from the request to the Berlin Senate.

It would be easy to raise other strings in dealing with them.

Anyone who coerces others on the road can go to jail for it.

Anyone who intervenes in traffic in a dangerous way, even more so.

The judges have leeway.

You just have to use it.

There are high hurdles for preventive detention

That's the page.

The other is that many activists are in preventive detention in Bavaria.

The country has actually tightened it up in order to get a better grip on Islamist threats.

The fact that it is now being used to keep climate protectors off the streets is disproportionate.

Preventive detention is not a punishment, so there are particularly high hurdles for it.

It is certainly appropriate for an Islamist who has hidden a bomb somewhere that only needs to be activated.

With a young person from the "last generation" but rather not.

Germany does not have to be paralyzed by activists.

But locking them away as a precaution is going too far.

He does not prevent a protest.

He heats him up.
