I read the article.
Three key points:
1) Nowhere did it say that the German government are classifying the protestors who blocked the road as RAF like terrorists. The person who made that comparison was a right wing politician who is known to be against the Green Party in Germany and he also seems to be a lobbyist for car manufacturers and is accused of not doing enough when the VW Dieselgate happened. So no wonder he's comparing these climate activists with RAF terrorists.
2) The government spokesman Mr Hebstriet even implied the word Terrorism should not be used and this case can be dealt with existing laws. What they are discussing is whether harsher laws are required to discourage road blocking protests.
3) According to the emergency doctor treating the cyclist at the scene, the fact that the car was not available had no effect on the rescue of the injured woman - so she died because of her serious injuries and not because of the people blocking the road.
I hope by your argumentation so far you are not advocating that schoolkids, doctors, scientists and other people who are protesting in the name of nature and future generations should be seen as potential terrorists or that those people who have broken traffic laws should be treated as terrorists?

Are doctors, scientists destroying pieces of our human heritage or blocking roads? Nope > The person who made that comparison was a right wing politician Lol, everyone that say something against your agenda is a right-wing.. btw to be right isnt a crime or negative, if it means conservative. CSU, FDP, and etc are "right wing" just because they oppose the left (from where the term originated from), they aren't "nazis" > Mr Hebstriet.. lol Steffen Hebestreit belongs to the "extreme-left-wing" from SPD, so for sure he would say something like that and wouldn't be able to handle a situation like: http://web.archive.org/web/20220816214317/https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/abbas-israel-holocaust-olaf-scholz-1.5640304 http://web.archive.org/web/20220816214317/https://www.suedde..., so you are just supporting my argument, that your commitment here is with the agenda and not with the truth.
- uxcolumbo 4y ago> Are doctors, scientists destroying pieces of our human heritage or blocking roads? Nope Yes - several have. See this example of scientists carrying out a gluing protest and committing criminal damage: https://theconversation.com/extinction-rebellion-scientists-why-we-glued-ourselves-to-a-government-department-181799 https://theconversation.com/extinction-rebellion-scientists-... They were acquitted by the courts. So do you think this particular women should be treated as a terrorist? https://news.sky.com/video/just-stop-oil-activist-bursts-into-tears-during-m25-protest-12741084 https://news.sky.com/video/just-stop-oil-activist-bursts-int... And should all these protestors (including doctors) who blocked a bridge - should they also be treated as terrorists? https://news.sky.com/story/climate-protesters-sit-in-road-and-block-major-bridges-in-london-12709189 https://news.sky.com/story/climate-protesters-sit-in-road-an... > just because they oppose the left (from where the term originated from), they aren't "nazis" Who was talking about Nazis? There is nothing wrong with being more on the right side of the political spectrum. I don't affiliate myself as either left or right. I support politicians who will improve things for society and protect our environment and not see politics as a career to enrich themselves or gain power. This particular politician who said the protestors are RAF like - Mr Dobrindt - seems to be one of those politicians who are in the pockets of big car manufacturers. He called the German Green Party a bunch of "Rioters, Stone throwers and Arsonists". That's extremely unprofessional. But it seems you're in favor of treating young protestors as terrorists rather than finding solutions to get our leaders to act to adapt and avoid the worst outcomes of the climate crisis? Don't look up, right? > that your commitment here is with the agenda and not with the truth. What agenda? What truth?
