Climate activists breach German airport, glue themselves to runway during busy travel weekend
[NYPost] German police arrested eight climate activists who breached the grounds of Munich airport on Saturday, briefly causing the airport to close and leading to around 60 flight cancelations during a busy holiday weekend.
"Get the chainsaw!"
Six of the activists glued themselves to a runway, a police spokesperson said, adding the situation was now under control, with both of the airport’s runways open for arrivals and takeoffs.

Climate group Last Generation,
which has carried out similar protests in the past, said it was responsible for the action in a series of posts on X showing members on what appeared to be a runway or tarmac with protest signs.

The group later said six individuals had seated themselves on airport asphalt at 4:45 a.m. local time to block planes, and it criticized Berlin for subsidizing airlines at the expense of rail.

"Problem is the government, not our holiday," one of the signs read.
