Fridays for Future calls global climate strike - DW News.
Fridays for Future protests are being held across Germany as climate activists seek to make their voices heard ahead of the country's federal election on Sunday.
Founder Greta Thunberg,who joined the event in Berlin, told demonstrators that "no political party is doing even close to enough" to fight the climate crisis.
"Yes, we must vote, you must vote, but remember that voting only will not be enough. We must keep going into the streets," Thunberg said at the rally in front of the Reichstag parliament building.
Aside from Berlin, protests are also taking place in Hamburg, Freiburg, Cologne and Bonn. The demonstrations in Germany are just one part of a worldwide climate strike that includes 1,400 events in 80 countries.
