In Berlin, approximately 9,000 participants were reported by police, while organizers claimed a nationwide turnout of 80,000. Protests occurred in cities including Cologne, Hamburg, and Munich, with calls for expedited development of solar and wind energy in response to rising energy prices and geopolitical crises. Climate activist Luisa Neubauer criticized the government’s approach, asserting it undermines the energy transition and threatens jobs. The protests were organized by a coalition of environmental groups, including Campact and Fridays For Future, who deemed the events a significant success.
