Although the “Last Generation” expressed a positive sentiment after their almost two-hour meeting with Wissing, they announced that they would continue protesting. “Today’s meeting with the Minister of Transport was human and respectful”, said the activist Lea Bonasera. But she also emphasized that there was still no agreement on any of the group’s demands.
The activists plan to meet again in May when the Transport Ministry presents its immediate programme for climate protection. However, there is no confirmation from the Transport Ministry. Bonasera also stated that the “Last Generation” would continue blocking streets in protest against the government’s insufficient climate policy.
The conversation with the FDP politician focused on the “Last Generation’s” demands for a speed limit of 100 kilometer per hour on highways, the re-introduction of €9 tickets, and the establishment of a social council. They used the opportunity to highlight the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for quick action.
