Last Generation: Don't leave political influence to lobbyists

Eichler and Jeschke were involved in the hunger strike in September 2021 before the Bundestag elections in Berlin. At the time, Father Alt arranged a contact with the SPD's top candidate and now Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who called them on the 27th day of the hunger strike and agreed to a public meeting.

The next two years would be decisive in determining whether it would still be possible to avert the worst consequences of global warming, they said, referring to leading climate researchers. Eichler announced that she would "join many others in the streets" in Berlin next week.

Jeschke called for political influence "not to be left to the lobbyists". It is not necessary to make oneself popular, but the protests must be absolutely peaceful, otherwise there is no chance of success. The history of historical changes, such as the civil rights movement in the USA, shows this.

Father appeals "to all people of good will".

Father Alt appealed "to all people of good will who have understood what is at stake" to use their responsibility in the Bavarian state elections in autumn. "The party that got us into this is at over 40 per cent, that can't be it," he said. With its commitment to nuclear power and further road expansion, this party with the C in its name was doing everything possible, "but not the right thing".

Alt had only been sentenced to a fine of 10 euros by the Munich District Court on Tuesday for participating in a road blockade of the "Scientist Rebellion" movement. Last autumn, the priest and doctor of migration sociology had glued himself onto the street next to the Munich Palace of Justice during an unannounced demonstration.
