A “last generation” climate activist tells the court that she was sterilized out of fear for the future.
Munich/Regensburg – The so-called climate stickers of the “last generation” are causing a stir all over the country. And they certainly don’t make friends everywhere with their road blockades. In Regensburg, Upper Palatinate, seven climate activists are currently before the district court.
Klima-Kleber in Regensburg: Activists of the “last generation” are on trial
It was the morning of June 7, 2022, when several representatives of the “Last Generation” group settled in both lanes of Frankenstrasse, paralyzing rush-hour traffic on this central entry route in the Bavarian student town for several hours. The public prosecutor’s office is now accusing them of joint coercion.
Again Münchner Merkur reported, described a defendant in court particularly emotional their motives for the protest on the street. Because she is so worried about climate change, she even had herself sterilized so as not to bring children into the world, she explained.

Accordingly, the 35-year-old, who was sitting in the dock, cried again and again during her testimony. “I’m desperate. I’m scared,” the woman said. She never imagined committing a crime and being on trial as a result, but she sees no other option.

She had herself sterilized because she couldn’t take responsibility for bringing children into this world. Against the background of “what will happen to us and our children”, what you are being accused of here is also absolutely irrelevant. She was sorry for the “inconveniences” for the affected drivers, but she didn’t know what else to do.
“Last generation” roadblocks: climate protests across Germany
18 car drivers who were affected by the blockade that morning are included in the indictment to support the allegation of coercion. For chief prosecutor Christine Müller, it is basically “a super simple situation” that only involves details.
A verdict is still pending in Regensburg, Bavaria, while the climate protests are sticking on the streets across Germany. In an interview with HNA.de A climate activist from Göttingen recently explained why she believes the adhesive campaigns are necessary.

“I am aware that it is always a risk to sit down on a street and that there can also be violent clashes with drivers,” said Rosa Reinisch, for example: “Nevertheless, the climate catastrophe we are going through is unchecked dashing into, I’m so scared that I’m taking that risk. What if we start fighting because there isn’t enough food and water for everyone due to drought?” (pm)
