The actor Til Schweiger has described climate activists who stick to a street in protest as “complete idiots”. “I don’t know what I do when I’m stuck in traffic and miss an important appointment because they’re stuck there. Then I’ll definitely get out,” said the 59-year-old star of “Manta Manta – Second Part” in an interview with the “Bild” newspaper.
“I saw the video of someone pulling off a climate sticker. I think I would do the same. What do I think of them? They are idiots.”
Schweiger continued to get excited: “They are partially paid for it, they get up to 1,500 euros a month for it. There are even training camps where they learn, among other things, which glue sticks best in which weather. The climate stickers are a big plague in this country!”
The actor also unpacked against the Greens: “I would think it would be great if Robert Habeck would stick himself. Then he wouldn’t be able to pour out so much crap. He should keep writing children’s books, he has no idea about the economy.” He accused the government of “never earning this money in the private sector – that’s why they became politicians.” “They get 20,000 euros a month. And who pays for that? The people,” Schweiger told “Bild”. Politicians are not the “kings” of the people, but “employees”. “They have to swear an oath to serve the people because we pay them.”
The sequel to the hit 1991 film Manta Manta premiered this week. You can also see some of the cast from almost 30 years ago. In addition to Schweiger, Tina Ruland (56) and Luna Schweiger (26) also play. Schweiger said: “I’m not afraid that the climate stickers won’t go to the cinema. Because they all stick to the road.”
