"Climate Activists Make Bold Statement by Spraying Brandenburg Gate Orange"

Environmental activists from the group Last Generation sprayed the iconic Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with orange and yellow paint, leading to the detention of 14 people on suspicion of criminal property damage. The group is demanding an end to fossil fuel use by 2030 and has called for renewed protests in the German capital. The German government, which has missed its climate protection targets for the past two years, aims for a climate-neutral economy by 2045. Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner condemned the protest, stating that it damages both the historic landmark and the free discourse on important issues.
