'Germany is embarrassing itself': Greta Thunberg joins climate protesters at Lützerath
Guardian, 14 Jan 2023
Protesters in the western German village of Lützerath were joined by on Saturday by Greta Thunberg, who condemned the use of police force to clear the demonstrators and called on others to join. She travelled to the village on Friday, and said she wasn't sure how long she'd stay there. 'Germany is really embarrassing itself right now,' she told reporters as she joined other demonstrators. Lützerath has been occupied for years by climate activists who are attempting to block the deserted village from being consumed by a nearby coal mine. 'They should stop this destruction immediately and also secure a just transition and climate justice for all,' Thunberg added. Police moved in to clear demonstrators on Wednesday
