61-year-old Michael Winter said on Saturday that he had decided to start eating again after 31 days. He had been in a Munich clinic since Wednesday with heart problems. Doctors had diagnosed a life-threatening health condition. However, other participants in the “Starve until you are honest” campaign want to continue.
What the most climate activists are demanding
According to their own statements, the climate activists want to persuade German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) to make a government statement on the excessive concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the urgency of changing course. According to a government spokesman, Scholz does not want to meet the demands of the protesters.

Winter explained: “My personal conclusion is that I have put my life at risk enough to be able to conclude that Olaf Scholz would rather accept deaths than tell people the truth about the climate catastrophe.” He would now rather take responsibility for his family instead of “paying the ultimate price for the greater good.”
“Ready to put my life on the line”
The activist Wolfgang Metzeler-Kick, who has not been eating solid food since March 7th but only juices, electrolytes and vitamins, wants to continue his hunger strike. He explained: “I don’t want to die. But I’m prepared to put my life on the line so that the population learns the truth about the drama of the climate catastrophe. Whether through my death or through a government statement from the Chancellor, I’ll put that in Hands of Olaf Scholz.”
According to the “Hunger until you are honest” campaign, four other people are on hunger strike in addition to Metzeler-Kick. They live in a camp near the Federal Ministry of Economics in Berlin.
