Berlin's Chancellery Faces "Oil" Protest
Let's get one thing straight - this isn't the trash bin moment you're thinking of!
Berlin – Greenpeace raised some eyebrows (and caused a slippery situation) by placing an oil drum in front of the Chancellery's entrance on Monday morning. The drama unfolded around 12:30 PM, with officers swiftly racing to the scene.
Contrary to initial suspicions, the "fossil fuel" substance spilled onto the street was actually sugar cane molasses, judging by the police's findings. Even the barrel bore logos from esteemed automakers like VW, Mercedes, and BMW.
While the sticky situation shifted the focus to the fire department, who had to swiftly tidy up, the protest continued. Climate protection advocates demonstrated against fossil fuel companies, raising their voices in the face of climate change.
Interestingly, reports of car thefts in the surrounding area started to surge shortly after these events. While the connection remains unclear, some suspect the protesters to be behind the spike in incidents.
