Greta Thunberg leads thousands of protesters demonstrating against German coal mine expansion



Around 6,000 demonstrators, including Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg, have gathered in western Germany to protest the clearance of a village to make way for the expansion of a controversial coal mine.

Protesters marched through Keyenberg, close to the demolished village of Luetzerath, chanting: “Every village stays” and “You are not alone”. Police said some activists attempted to break through barriers around the Garzweiler coal mine, with a group entering the mine.

  1. Greta's Staged Photo opportunity Embarrassing for all concerned, especially when Germany was so reliant on cheap Russian gas to prop up its green renewable energy that it now needs coal to provide energy / heat for its population, and this ideologue would sooner see people especially the elderly die of hypothermia for her autistic nihilistic climate change nonsense belief. "How Dare She"

  2. I agree that coal is harmful to the environment but Europe is suffering a war in the Ukraine in which Russian gas control is being used… and we are in winter for God's sake! WHAT DO THOSE WHO PROTEST WANT? that thousands die for lack of fuel to heat homes and cook?
