Climate activist also denounced ‘police violence’ against campaigners at the abandoned village of Lützerath
Greta Thunberg joined thousands of demonstrators to march in a large-scale protest in Germany against the demolition of a village to make way for an opencast coalmine extension., waving banners, chanting and accompanied by a brass band, but there were also violent clashes with police.
Local media reported stones being thrown at police. One demonstrator was seen with a head injury, as ambulance sirens sounded near the protest site. She described the force used by police in their clearance of the protest camp earlier this week as “outrageous”. Demonstrators have occupied the village in the brown-coal district of the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia for two years, trying to stop the expansion of the nearby lignite mine run by energy firm RWE.
