Climate activists spray Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate with orange paint

BERLIN (AP) — Climate activists have sprayed orange paint onto Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate to urge the German government to take more urgent action against climate change. Members of the group the Last Generation used fire extinguishers filled with paint to spray all six columns of the popular landmark in Germany’s capital on Sunday. Police cordoned off the area surrounding Brandenburg Gate and confirmed that they detained 14 activists affiliated with the group. The Last Generation is best known for its protests involving activists gluing themselves to roads to block traffic. The group plays a polarizing role in German politics and society.
