Berlin Christmas tree alight again after climate activists’ attack

Must read

Berlin’s Christmas tree at the Brandenburg Gate is lit up again after climate activists chopped off the top and cut the circuit in full view of the city’s police guarding the famous landmark.

“Everything is working nicely again,” Francesco Mazuhn, a spokesperson for the organizers, said on Thursday.The tree went dark on Wednesday evening after Last Generation activists turned up with truck fitted with a telescopic lift and proceeded to saw off the top. They said removing the tip of the tree was to illustrate how the world was only aware of the tip of the climate problem.

Photographs show police officers observing the action without intervening. A spokesperson told local radio rbb24 they had assumed the activists were carrying out routine work on the 15-metre tree.

No figure had yet been put on the damage, Mazuhn said.

“The first thing was to have the tree lit up for Christmas,” he added.

Police said earlier they had detained three people and were investigating a case of property damage.
