Germany in the midst of the #ClimateCrisis: Last wednesday the fossil giant #RWE started demolishing the country road #L12 between the towns Keyenberg and Holzweiler, to further extend its open pit coal mine #Garzweiler. Here's what local activist @DavidDresen had to say about this well-awaited step in our movement conference in July: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRddXEZDdeI&t=719s

After the mining company had revised its profit forecast upwards by more than 1 billion, at the beginning of the month, it now wanted to make it clear once again on whose back these profits are being generated. So, to secure their destruction campaign, RWE unceremoniously raided the potato field of a local farmer: https://nitter.net/AlleDoerfer/status/1695067163747373364#m

All this is happening under the eyes of a coalition of Greens and Conservatives in #NorthRhineWestphalia, which has even cleared the way to sacrifice intact wind turbines to the ever-growing coal mine.

Ask us again, why we run with the Left party.
