Police continue to forcibly evict climate activists in the occupied village of Lützerath | DW News

Hundreds of climate activists have spent two years establishing a blockade in Lützerath to prepare for this moment. They have created a DIY fortress and last line of defense against the expansion of the 200-meter-deep mine they view from their tree houses. After saving the nearby Hambach forest and several other villages on the edge of Garzweiler that were earmarked to be chewed up and spat out, these climate activists believe they can hang on in Lützerath for a stay of execution. And they are doing it during the warmest start to the year on record.
