In the nationwide climate strike on Friday, only about a quarter of the people took to the streets compared to the peak a few years ago. The support of the population seems to be dwindling – and the "Last Generation" is making significantly more headlines with its actions than the moderate protest of Fridays For Future.
Lia Gobbelé quit at FFF last year, too many internal discussions and squabbles, she says. Annika Rittmann is still involved in Fridays For Future and is one of the press spokespersons. While Fridays for Future is working to put pressure on politicians, there is extra work to be done. Internal problems, competition with the »Last Generation«, fewer demonstrators. How can these problems be solved?
