Leipzig: incendiary attack against the forest devourer

[North of the city of Dresden (capital of the region of Saxony) is the Heidebogen (“Heibo”) forest, which has been occupied since August 2021 to prevent it from being razed for the adjoining KBO gravel plant.
On Wednesday, February 15, about 50 people who had built tree houses and erected barricades at Heibo began to be evicted from the forest in a large-scale police operation that ended the next day.

On Thursday, February 16 in Leipzig, four vans parked in the Sachsenforst parking lot were set ablaze during the night in retaliation, causing nearly 100,000 euros of damage and the opening of an investigation under the aegis of the PTAZ (the Police Center against Terrorism and Extremism). Here is a translation from the German communique, claimed three days later by “anarchists”].
Sachsenforst vehicles set on fire – Heibo stays!
On February 15, the cops commissioned by Sachsenforst started to clear the occupation of the Heibo forest near Dresden. This is the third time this year that an occupation has been evicted. This is the next place where people oppose the destruction. And as in Danni, Hambi or Lützerath*, it is the interests of capital that are to be imposed. The clearing of 900 hectares of forest and the associated destruction of irreplaceable wetlands and springs is unique in Germany. For years, various environmental associations have been warning of the extent of the phenomenon, and for just as long, those responsible have ignored them. The state-owned company Sachsenforst, which is directly subordinate to the Ministry of Ecology of the state of Saxony, is in the front line. A green policy, as usual.

screw loosened and exponentially with each foot completely unscrewed. It is up to you, as a group, to decide how far you want to go. In all cases, plan the action taking into account the possibility of the mast falling while you are still there. Both at the base of the mast and where the cables touch the ground, there is a potentially lethal amounts of electricity on the ground within a certain radius! Move away from the object as quickly as possible in the opposite direction of the fall. Ensure that your body remains in contact with the ground at all times (grounding), walking with small “shuffling” steps. Make sure that the weather conditions are favorable. Do not perform this action in strong wind, heavy rain or snowfall!
