If you feel helpless against the fossil fuel destruction, join us in Lützerath from January 12th.
Thousands of people are joining forces: we will block this machine and defeat the coal mafia.
Lützerath is under attack.
The coal industry wants to destroy the village of Lützerath: they are trying to evacuate the brave, pacifists activists who are holding grounds to protect our future.
Follow @DanniPilger@twitter.com for live reporting.
The "coal mafia" has arrived.
Annihilation of nature and life has started at @LuetziBleibt@twitter.com
This is not a dystopia.
This is Germany, in 2023.
This is not a dystopian movie.
This is the "coal mafia" destroying our future in #Luetzerath. 🇩🇪

Thousands of people are joining the Resistance against the destruction of #Luetzerath by a coal company!
Today in #Lützerath hundreds of people came to oppose the coal mining industry.
The crowd managed to get a bagger to stop.
Thousands more people will join in the coming days ✊
The "agents of coal" are attacking peaceful protectors of the climate.
It is, indeed, a blunt phrasing, but it reflects, according to the locals, how the "coal mafia" has control over the entire region, from politicians to local authorities.
police violence
Peaceful protesters are trying to prevent the emissions of 280.000.000 Tons of CO2 in Lützerath.
German authorities respond with torture.

In 2018, German authorities wasted Millions of euros of public money to evict the forest of Hambach, on behalf of a coal company.
It failed.
The police operation was later ruled illegal in court.
The exact same thing is happening, again, in #Lützerath
Violent repression is *required* by the coal industry to keep expanding coal mines.
📹 Climate activists are being loaded in a truck provided by the fossil fuel giant RWE.
The Nazi regime made coal mining "a national priority", back in 1937.
Today, the law from the Third Reich era still allows coal companies to seize land and expropriate people of #Luetzerath.

Anti-corruption laws seem inefficient in Germany:
The city of Essen received 17,200,000 euros from coal company RWE in 2021.
The Mayor @TKufen@twitter.com himself works for RWE.
Believe it or not, this is legal.💰🤯
This picture from @marius_mich@twitter.com says it all.

Brave activists are still resisting the police eviction around the clock.
They use monopods, tunnels, ziplines and treehouses to slow down the destruction. ✊💛
The 280,000,000 Tons of coal under #Lutzerath must stay in the ground.
Join us on Saturday for the big action !
Join us in #Lützerath tomorrow with @GretaThunberg@twitter.com to protest and oppose coal mining.
The largest coal mine of Europe is only:
40 minutes from Köln
2h from Amsterdam
2h from Brussels
5h from Paris
How far are you ? 👉 https://goo.gl/maps/kB4gf7HZeyz3v6bu8
Live updates from #Lutzerath
These scenes of destruction are not from Ukraine.
This is happening in Germany.
For coal mining.
In 2023.
Later, 35.000 joined the protest to defend #Luetzerathbleibt
You could see people coming, all the way to the horizon.
The amount of public money wasted to serve the interests of the coal industry is colossal.
