The 49-year-old activist, who has been on hunger strike since March 7, has announced that he is ready to die if necessary.
Another activist joined him 12 days ago. They both live in a tent in one of Berlin’s parks in the government building district.
Activists are on hunger strike to get the chancellor to issue a government statement on the climate crisis. According to them, the climate crisis threatens the future existence of human civilization. Activists are calling on Scholz to acknowledge the problem and finally change the policy.
“I crave honesty and I am ready to die for the truth to come to light,” Metzeler-Kick said at a press conference on Friday, adding that he was ready to “take the hunger strike to the extreme.”
The next step would be to give up juice, which both activists still consume. The doctor treating the strikers described the health condition of both as stable. In extreme cases, people can fast for 50 to 70 days.
The group of climate activists “Scientist Rebellion” has called for solidarity with the strikers and also to refrain from eating for a day or two.
