Climate activists briefly blocked an autoroute entrance in Wankdorf near Bern yesterday morning.

The protests are part of the Renovate Switzerland campaign designed to persuade the government to insulate millions of homes. 

Some had superglued themselves to the ground. Police say 12 were involved and six were arrested. 

The road was closed for around 20 minutes and was fully open by 8am. 

It’s the third road blockage by the group in the last few days.
