"The preceding generation" confesses participation in European elections. - Will these unruly individuals soon be fixed in place in Brussels?
A list called "Parlament aufmischen - Stimme der Letzten Generation" (known as "Last Generation" for short), featuring twelve candidates, is now accessible on the Federal Election Commissioner's website. This assortment of individuals contains a variety of faces, some of whom have previously engaged in street demonstrations or occupied museums. There are also convicted criminals, chatterboxes, and zealots among their ranks.
The possibility of at least one of these individuals securing a position in the European Parliament isn't insignificant. According to INSA chief Hermann Binkert, "On a wide voter base, the 'Last Generation' is unlikely to achieve a 'Letzte Generation' owing to their unpopularity with all demographic sectors." Nonetheless, they could potentially snag an MP in the upcoming European Parliament with only a fraction of a percent of the total votes.
Candidate 1: Lina Johnsen (26) from Leipzig
Lina Johnsen, a graduate of Environmental Sciences, made the seamless transition from the lecture hall to the streets, where she's engaged in multiple demonstrations. She articulated her thoughts regarding climate protests in the media: "Although this protest is extremely bothersome, stressful, and I consider it highly absurd, it's essential because the government's climate policies are even more ridiculous." She's poised to earn a spot in the EU Parliament, seeking to "stir things up" within its halls.
Candidate 2: Theodor Schnarr (33) from Greifswald
Science enthusiast and biochemistry student, Theodor Schnarr from Greifswald, participates regularly in street blockades. He and his wife, Lena, plan to have children only once environmental policies better align with their ideals. Schnarr expressed his intentions with the "Frankfurter Rundschau," stating, "We're not going to parliament to engage in any party-related work. Instead, we want to transfer the protest to parliament and create a bit of commotion."
Candidate 4: Raúl Semmler (39) from Mannheim
Previously a TV star in the spotlight for his work in the Nibelungen Festspiele Worms (2014) and Police Call, Soko Leipzig, Ein Fall fuer zwei, Raúl Semmler (39) has shifted his attention to glue-sticking. Despite his fame, he's glued himself to over a hundred streets as well as a Poussin painting in the Frankfurt Städel Museum. He's been penalized on multiple occasions for his ardent protests.
Candidate 7: Christian Bläul (42) from Dresden
Christian Bläul, a programmer from Dresden, has convictions for his protest actions, having been sentenced to seven months in prison by a Berlin court. Even though many find his methods excessive, Bläul isn't deterred: "I'm psychologically prepared for the possibility that someone could perish as a consequence of these actions. While it's undeniably challenging to bear such a loss, it's a risk we must take."
