I sat and watched an interview with the head guy of the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution (basically the German 'FBI). The guy? Thomas Haldenwang.
In the midst of the interview (via N-24 commercial news)....Haldenwang admitted that the agency looks almost daily to see if the activist of 'Last Generation' has crossed the line and become an extremist or terror group.
So far....he says....there's not been any evidence that meets the agency's 'bad-boy' list.
The glue business? It's a local matter....for local or state police (depending on the type of road/street they are on).
Disrupting traffic? Same story.
As long as the 'Last Generation' kids stay within this line....they can avoid the Red Army Faction 'path'.
The fact that marginal numbers of Germans have bought into the tactics of the group? I would say it's a problem for them (the activists) to continue to go out daily and hinder German traffic.....realizing that the tactic has no return value. In some ways....more Germans probably oppose them today for delay reasons.
This all leading to 'bad-boy' status with the Protection service? I would suggest that things can stay at this level for a number of months. But at some point (probably a year or two away)....the activists will go into the damage business and cause personal injury or vehicle damage (intentionally).
My general take....there is a fair amount of distance between 'Last Generation' and 'Fridays For The Future'. It's possible some parent will wake up one day to some call from a police-friend....where their 15-year old daughter is now on a watch-list. Then the German father will ask the kid...'what the hell did you do to get on this federal watch list'.
