After several pro-Palestinian appearances by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, German Fridays for Future representative Luisa Neubauer called on the climate movement to reposition itself. “The climate crisis of the 21st century requires us to have new narratives, new political ideas, new activist paths,” Neubauer told the Editorial Network Germany (RND).
But there is “obviously a certain danger for climate movements of getting lost in the political aberrations of the 20th century.” She “wrongly assumed that the respective national movements deal independently with questions of anti-Semitism, which is what we did here in Germany.” Regarding the stance of Fridays for Future Germany, Neubauer said: “It was clear to us: We don’t have to present a solution to a decades-old conflict, but we do have to ensure that our stance towards Israel’s right to exist and in dealing with anti-Semitic incidents is clear.”
With a view to the political situation in Germany, Neubauer accused the RND of Chancellor Olaf Scholz of not doing enough to promote social cohesion. Scholz has “so far not given the impression that it is his great effort to create social peace in this country through stringent, consistent, successful, socially just, timely and timely climate policy,” said Neubauer. She sees Scholz as having “to date (…) no sustainable government concept.” In view of what Neubauer sees as trust in democracy eroding, a “chancellor who sets out to inspire people and encourage them” would, according to the climate activist, “be very helpful at the moment.”
