Greta Thunberg calls for protest against expansion of German coalmine

Climate activist also denounced ‘police violence’ against campaigners at the abandoned village of Lützerath

Greta Thunberg is calling for people to join her in a protest against the expansion of a coalmine that will demolish a small German village, denouncing “police violence” against environmental campaigners resisting the demolition.

“Germany is really embarrassing itself right now,” the climate activist said during her visit to the abandoned village of Lützerath, ahead of a planned protest on Saturday.
