Climate activists have announced that they will continue their protests calling for a halt to the expansion of an open-pit coal mine in the mining town of Lützerath, Germany, a day after the authorities killed all the people who had entered the town to stop the construction work.
The action alliance ‘Lützerath Unräumbar’, which translates as «Lützerath Impossible to Clear Up», which includes groups Friday for the Future and Last Generation, has called for a joint day of action.
«Every minute that the bulldozer is running and burning coal is further fueling the climate catastrophe. As the ‘Lützerath Unräumbar’ alliance we oppose the destruction,» they said in a statement posted on their website, although they did not give details of the planned protests.
«We assume that there will be actions,» the Police have detailed, warning of further actions such as the one that has paralyzed for days the expansion of an open-pit coal mine.
On Monday, according to German energy company RWE, which owns the site, the last activists, who had been barricaded for days in a tunnel under the village, left the area, which has since been fenced off.
Meanwhile, the village of Lützerath itself, which has become a symbol of the struggle, has been demolished, according to the German agency DPA.
