Protesters opposed to Tesla’s expansion of its plant near Berlin were holding out in trees Tuesday as German police sought to clear their forested camp.
Protesters opposed to Tesla’s expansion of its plant near Berlin were holding out in trees Tuesday as German police sought to clear their forested camp. In May, the protesters clashed with police as some attempted to storm the facility, the US carmaker’s only European gigafactory, which employs some 12,000 staff. Police said in a statement Tuesday that criminal offenses and violations of assembly regulations, including resisting a police operation, had meant that the security of the Tesla (TSLA) site could no longer be guaranteed. Led by the Disrupt Tesla group, protesters argue that plans to double the factory’s size will damage the environment. Tesla did not reply to a request for comment from Reuters. Although some protesters had left of their own accord after police announced the clearance Tuesday, the police said “there are currently still people in trees and rope structures” and the effort to clear the camp was therefore ongoing.
