Recently, a heated protest against cement trading led to a blockade at a construction materials company. One of the main instigators, a 26-year-old activist, has now found himself in hot water. The public prosecutor's office has slapped him with charges, according to reports.
Allegedly, the activist glued himself to the production site using a sand-adhesive mixture, and other members of the group, End Cement, to the cause. This action cost Heidelberg Materials, a noteworthy sum of at least 100,000 euros due to production downtime, with additional damage estimated at about 3,600 euros to the access road. The company promptly filed charges in response to the action.
After a grueling eight-hour effort, specialists managed to extract the activists from the street. The group's issues revolved around Heidelberg Materials' CO2 emissions, urging a shift towards sustainable building materials.
The 26-year-old is also accused of spraying a building at another location associated with the same company with eco-friendly paint two days prior to the blockade. Preliminary estimates put the damage at a whopping 30,000 euros. Conviction for property damage could potentially land the young man two years behind bars or a hefty fine, as per a spokesperson.
The public prosecutor's office has reportedly sent penalty notices to other protesters as well. According to End Cement, two of these notices are for damage to property worth 3,000 euros and 4,000 euros respectively (equivalent to 60 and 80 daily fines of 50 euros each). The public prosecutor's office spokesperson confirmed that even more notices are on the way, associated with the protest actions.
