Climate Activists Breach CDU HQ in Berlin, Three Held After Attempted Gluing

The rebranded Neue Generation targeted Chancellor Friedrich Merz with corruption allegations, signaling a new wave of October protests.

Overview

  • Activists from Neue Generation entered the Konrad-Adenauer-Haus during CDU leadership meetings in Berlin on Monday morning.
  • Police said about 20 people took part; identities were recorded, most were released, and three were held to be presented to an investigatory judge.
  • Two participants tried to attach themselves to a Konrad Adenauer bust, a technician and a visiting tradesman intervened, and a large poster was affixed to the façade.
  • CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann called it a “new dimension of attack” and said the party will file a criminal complaint.
  • The group described the action as the second phase of its “Revolution Days” and announced further October actions, positioning itself as the successor to Letzte Generation.
