In Kassel, around 120 people demonstrated against the loss-making Kassel Airport. The rally took place as part of longer climate protests by the group Last Generation, which demanded that taxpayers' money be invested in sustainable projects instead of in "fossil self-destruction".
The protesters pointed to the effects of the climate catastrophe and criticized the fact that a deficit of 2023 million euros was recorded for the airport in 4,98.
The event, which took place on the harbor bridge, was supported by several organizations, including Scientist Rebellion, Parents Against the Fossil Industry and Extinction Rebellion. Police reported that the event was peaceful and there were no major incidents. Kassel Airport, which has been in the red since it opened over ten years ago, currently offers only limited flight connections and is mainly used for business trips.
