Again grubbing work in the forest!
Today, the last day on which RWE, stipulated in applicable laws, is allowed to deforest, they get going vigorously once more.
The clearing work is in full swing and both security guards and police in riot gear are in large numbers in the forest and on the former A4. Helicopters are circling and dog squads patrol the forest trails. Timber transporters leave the cleared area in large numbers.
The statements from the police units, why they are in the forest fluctuate, vary depending from the officer in question:
- We are simply here
- We are here to prevent acts of violence from both sides
- We are here to secure the clearing work
- We are here because police units were attacked
