The police arrest 12 activists for blocking a major road

On Tuesday morning, 12 climate activists were dragged away and arrested for blocking traffic on HC Andersens Boulevard in Copenhagen.

On Tuesday morning, the police attacked a group of activists who had sat on the road and thus blocked traffic on HC Andersens Boulevard in Copenhagen.

According to presse-fotos.dk, the police arrested at least 12 of the activists who had sat on the road to disturb the traffic.

It is far from the first time that the police have had to drag activists who have blocked traffic off the roads.

Back in November last year, law enforcement had to move out and remove the activists from a motorway junction. Nevertheless, the activists have continued to disturb the traffic several times since.

And in January this year, it became too much for a number of motorists, when the activists once again created chaos around Copenhagen Airport.

According to presse-fotos.dk, which also mentioned the road blockade at the time, some motorists became so impatient that they chose to shout at the activists. It was about at least two drivers, it says.

The police were initially informed that a photographer had been injured. But it now turned out to be mostly his own fault, as he had fallen of his own accord.

Activists outside Denmark's borders have also drawn attention to their hatred of cars several times. This has led to several actions, including against cars in connection with car exhibitions.

In October 2022, a number of activists complained that they were 'given nowhere to shit' when they glued themselves to Porsche's floor in the Volkswagen Group's Autostadt Museum in Wolfsburg.

When a security guard turned off the lights in the building and went home for the night, the activists were left to their own devices. They were first picked up, arrested and charged by the police the next day. Read more about it here .
