Starting point: Friendensplatz
After months of the former "Progressive Coalition" just working on itself and closing its eyes to political reality, it is now time to say goodbye: The traffic light is history! Now that Lindner has announced his intention to abolish the German climate targets, nobody is of course sad that Scholz is throwing the FDP out of government. However, it is clear that there is no time for illusions - not everything will simply get better now.
Spain is under water, the world is heading for 3.1 degrees of global warming, a fascist becomes president of the USA and all this just a few days before the World Climate Conference in Baku - the world's pain could not be greater.
Not only has the climate crisis hardly played a role in recent months, but even worse, the public debate has revolved almost exclusively around right-wing issues. If we continue to allow them to take the stage, we are threatened with similar election results in the Bundestag elections as in Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringia. An early federal election means an early decision about our future. There is a lot at stake: We can win - but we can also lose everything.
That's why it's clear now: we have to talk about what really matters. For a just, peaceful world, we need to contain the climate crisis. To do this, we need parties that take climate protection seriously - regardless of whether it's an election or the next heatwave. And for that we need serious talks about the climate.
Let's take to the streets, reclaim the debate and fight together for a future worth living. That's why we are calling for a nationwide climate strike before the election - on Friday, February 14, 2025 everywhere in Germany!
