However, the judges confirm that the planning approval decision ignores the European Water Framework Directive. The BUND Hessen demands a moratorium on the state government.

All residents: within your Village, the “tomorrow” it means being students and teachers. “We learn from each other.” Organizational matters will be discussed in the evening. At the end there is an “emo round” where everyone can say how he is doing. “That is very important at this time.”

Situation in Dannenröder Forest comes to a head: activists: protest from within – criticism of Tarek Al-Wazir

Young Activists: Inside the Tree houses and the two campsites in front of the Forest they have different priorities. Some are very political. Others primarily seek a place in a society that cannot cope with non-standardized gender identities. Most believe that the rulers of the Climate change not responding appropriately.

“All the politician Protest it must be prevented ”. This is the conclusion of Christoph Pauly from Red Aid. She takes care of the seven people who have been sitting in the Frankfurt-Preungesheim prison for almost three weeks because they cordoned off a motorway bridge.
