		</div><p>German officials have condemned protests by climate activists who blocked roads, including near the country’s biggest port.</p>
<p>Members of the group Uprising of the Last Generation glued themselves to roads in Stuttgart, Freiburg and near the port of Hamburg to demand an end to food waste.</p>
<p>The group argues that throwing away vast amounts of usable food contributes to hunger and climate change.</p>
<p>Bavaria’s top state security official said such blockades were not covered by freedom of assembly.</p>
<p>“To massively impede people’s mobility or block the movement of goods is a serious breach of the law,” said Joachim Herrmann, of the conservative Christian Social Union.</p>
<p>Omid Nouripour, the head of Germany’s environmentalist Green Party, expressed support for peaceful protests but said the blockades could undermine popular support for measures to tackle climate change.</p>
<p>He also criticised the activists for threatening to step up their protests unless the government agreed to their demands by last Sunday.</p>
<p>Germany is not on track to meet its goals for reducing emissions of planet-warming gases.</p>
<p>The blockades are reminiscent of the protests last year by the climate action group Insulate Britain, which obstructed many major roads in the UK.</p>
