Climate protesters seek to raise awareness with Berlin sit-in
More than 100 demonstrators partially blocked several streets in central Berlin on Monday as they staged a long-promised protest calling for more muscular climate protection measures from the government.
The protest centred on the Brandenburg Gate, near the legislature. Organised in part by Extinction Rebellion, the protesters said that they wanted to set up a tent city for a week’s worth of demonstrations and other programmes.

Police were present at the demonstration and were engaged in conversations with the protesters.
