Rackete Statement
In a statement, Rackete asked people to join the resistance in the Dannenröder forest: “We cannot all stay at home and expect others to do unpleasant work for us.”
Released shortly after eviction Spiegel.de made a guest contribution from Fridays for Future, activist Luisa Neubauer and Carola Rackete with the title “Who has the power to break contracts?” Both criticize that decades-old (construction) contracts are not broken in favor of much more recent agreements on biodiversity and climate.
Among other things it says: “The Dannenröder forest is a symbolic forest, a symbolic image – for an urgently needed exit from the arrogant, one might say predatory, management of industrial societies with the living planet in favor of fossil fuel infrastructure, so for too long erroneously, one assumed that well-being and prosperity were only guaranteed by the latter. “
