At the Kirchentag in Stuttgart, an activist tries to storm the stage where Chancellor Olaf Scholz is speaking. He countered with a comparison, for which Luisa Neubauer now heavily criticized him.
Climate activist Luisa Neubauer has accused Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) of comparing “climate activists with Nazis”.
In doing so, he put the Nazi regime into perspective, “and in a paradoxical way also the climate crisis,” wrote Neubauer on Twitter. “He stylizes climate protection as an ideology with parallels to the Nazi regime. In 2022. Jesus. It’s such a scandal.”
In doing so, Neubauer was reacting to the chancellor’s appearance at the Kirchentag in Stuttgart last Friday, which had been interrupted by several activists. He had criticized the heckling with reference to targeted disruptive actions in the past, but did not draw a direct Nazi comparison, leaving open what he was referring to. His words could also be understood as an allusion to the demolition of events by radicalized student groups in the 1970s, the late period of which he himself had experienced.
An activist had tried to storm the stage during the appearance of the SPD politician, but was prevented from doing so by security forces and led away. Another activist shouted “bullshit” when Scholz was talking about phasing out coal-fired power generation and the jobs that would be lost in opencast mining as a result.
Scholz: “Remind me of a time that was long ago”
Scholz commented on the disruption with the words: “I’ll be honest, these black-clad productions at various events by the same people always remind me of a long time ago, and thank God.” This also includes an “acting performance, in which you always stage yourself,” he said.
“I’ve also been to events, there were five people, dressed the same, everyone had a practiced posture, and (they) do it again every time.” That’s not a discussion. “It’s not participatory in a discussion, it’s an attempt to manipulate events for your own purposes, you shouldn’t do that.”
