Climate activists leave their mark on Berlin's iconic gate
Berlin – It seems that the "Last Generation" climate activists have left their mark once again, this time on the iconic Brandenburg Gate.
The group announced their latest act of defiance on a chilly Thursday afternoon. With the east side still undergoing repairs from the summer's graffiti, they claimed responsibility for tagging the west side.
They draped the sandstone with fresh paint, using brushes and a vivid hue of orange.
The group's statement reads, "While the east side is still shrouded in scaffolding, as it tries to erase the blameworthy, accusing orange streaks on the monument, new, vibrant brushstrokes now grace its western face."
The construction of the scaffolding on the east side began last Monday. Despite efforts to remove the overspray of orange paint, which continued to mar the sandstone pillars, it persisted.

While the Brandenburg Gate has a long and storied history of significant events, protests, and commemorations, there seems to be no credible reports or statements to corroborate this recent incident.
