Lützerath - German police pressed ahead on Wednesday with clearing a camp of anti-coal activists in an abandoned town which has become emblematic of the country's struggle to transition away from fossil fuels amid an energy crisis.
"They took the first aid team out of the camp by force," Mara Sauer, a spokesperson for the activists, told AFP."Only some were able to stay in hiding." In sometimes surreal scenes, police sought to coax several activists tied inside concrete barrels to give up their resistance, as a violinist gave an impromptu concert from the roof of an abandoned house.
"This is part of our democratic understanding, it is part of an agreement and this is the law in force. The government therefore expects the law to be respected and the police are there to enforce the law," he said. Erle, a student in her early 20s, told AFP she has not seen any violence from protesters or the police, many of whom seem to be the same age as her.
A police press spokesperson said on Wednesday the operation"could last several weeks" with another demonstration planned for Saturday.
