SPREMBERG, Germany: Campaigners were preparing to occupy a vast opencast coal mine in eastern Germany on Saturday to put pressure on the government to phase out the fossil fuel - a divisive issue in the country's rust belt.

The occupation is being supported by other environmental groups, including the German branch of Fridays for Future which is organising its own protest on Saturday in front of a nearby power station. "The plan is totally empty. It's a scandal, a crime against future generations," Malhaus said this week.The mining industry in the Lausitz, which stretches all the way into Poland, is vital to the local economy.

The AfD is now second after the centre-left Social Democrats in Brandenburg region where Spremberg is located.
