Environmental activists temporarily block Berlin airport

BERLIN, 24 Nov. (DPA/EP) -

Environmental activists from the Última Generación organization have temporarily blocked this Thursday the Berlin-Brandenburg Willy Brandt airport, the main aerodrome of the German capital and located in the south of the city.

This was stated by a spokesperson for the airport itself, confirming a publication launched by the environmental group itself on its profile on the social network Twitter in which activists were observed sitting on the ground or riding bicycles along the takeoff runway.

Predictably, the protesters would have entered the facilities after cutting a metal fence at the north and south points of the airport. The collective has reported that before their protest they had notified the Police.

Various environmental groups, including Última Generación, have staged numerous protests throughout Europe in recent weeks, including attacks against works of art and institutional buildings or roadblocks.
