BERLIN taz | of The Bundesverband mittelständische Wirtschaft wanted to be undisturbed, to celebrate the new year. 3,000 guests came on Monday evening in Berlin's Maritim hotel, to listen to Speeches by the President of Senegal and the Federal Minister for family, Franziska Giffey (SPD) and economy, Peter Altmaier (CDU). However, the appearance of Siemens-Chef Joe Kaeser, the Party was disturbed. Because, as he wanted to speak, stand already a short-haired woman in a vest at the lectern.

it's called Noe Ito, a Japanese anarchist. Her appearance was filmed and is on YouTube: "you are involved in the destruction of our planet", accused the present in English. "And you know it." In your face and hands stuck to a green color. "If you don't care, then so be it. But if you just be afraid, afraid to lose your Job, you need to hear now.“

Behind the action, not Fridays, for the Future, not Greenpeace or Extinction Rebellion is. Noe Ito belongs to a group that wants to be a group. "We are not an organization with a name," she says later to the taz in German. "It's more about resistance than natural attitude of view and hope that many understand that it does not need mass in order to change something." Climate protection must go hand-in-hand with a system change, says the woman who does not want to give her name.

"The one without the other is not to think. We are ecologically oriented Anarchists. Without a fundamentally change in the prevailing conditions, will not improve the climate.“ The action in front of the "Mittelstand", the activist asked that those present take responsibility. "You all know what's going on here. It's a matter of life and death. A System that you co-create.“

After 90 seconds, a security guard entered the stage, grabbed her Arm, but Siemens chief Kaeser signaled The woman to stay. "I've got a song," said Noe Ito. "This Song goes out to capitalism!", called the activist, "and to you, the German Mittelstand!" She began to sing, "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor, without a microphone, while she was slowly pushed from the stage. The audience applauded.

"The chorus fits us resistance movements," she explains later. "Everything we do, we do out of love, not out of hatred, as cheesy as that sounds."

Kaeser responded calmly to the disorder. "I would have said the young wife with do. Come to the table.“ However, the Noe Ito does not want to, she says. "The green color in my face is supposed to be a hand print, which keeps the mouth. So how Greenwashing.“ Exactly have tried Kaeser in connection. "This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that we should sit around the table with you, we're the future, blah, blah. We all know that is a lie. The fear to lose their job.“

With the protests on the occasion of Siemens' Adani project have had the action to do nothing. "The reception was a good opportunity to come to the heart of the beast." That it "has taken this Kaeser", was actually a coincidence, says Noe Ito. "I just wanted to go on the stage, than all the Securities wegwaren."
