🔥Finance Ministry in Berlin blocked - #DebtForClimate activists call for #G7 to cancel illegitimate Global South debt.

All entrances are closed, 20 activists glued themselves to doors and driveways to demand an end to neocolonial exploitation through debt. #G7GER

At the Finance Ministry in Berlin

Debt forces Global South countries into allowing Global North creditors to exploit their natural resources

#G7 cancel the debt so Global South countries can leave fossil fuels in the ground and invest in renewables!

#DebtForClimate #G7GER

Activists are directly addressing German Finance Minister @ChristianLindner who as Finance Minister of one of the #G7 countries, has influence on global finance and is also Deputy Governor for Germany in the IMF.

"Germany, like other Global North countries, has a historic responsibility in the climate crisis, in a way a climate debt to the rest of the world, and as one of the #G7 countries also an enormous influence on global politics." #G7GER

One of the #DebtForClimate activists who had glued themselves to the Finance Ministry in Berlin talks about the action:
"We are going to fight until the debt is cancelled!"
