Despite growing pressure from other parts of the country to classify the far-left eco-extremist “Last Generation” as a criminal organisation, the Berlin Senate has refused to do so following a review into the matter.
Earlier this month, the group announced that it will carry out protest activities that will target “the rich” and “symbols of modern wealth” so as to “draw attention to the reckless waste” of the richest members of society.
The former BfV chief’s statement comes after German police last week raided 15 homes of members of the Last Generation who are suspected of helping to finance a criminal enterprise.
The ongoing dispute raises difficult questions over the tension between the right of individuals to protest and the level of acceptable disruption for those trying to go about their lives.
