From Sydney to London via Cape Town, environmental activists from Extinction Rebellion have started two weeks of global punchdowns to denounce governments' "criminal" inaction in the face of the climate crisis, resulting in dozens of deaths. arrests.
Two weeks after Greta Thunberg's angry call to the world's leaders at the UN, Extinction Rebellion, a movement born in 2018 in the United Kingdom that advocates civil disobedience, promised to wreak havoc in the capitals of the world whole, by carrying out actions first in New Zealand and Australia, then in Europe.
In London, which promises to be an epicenter of the mobilization, protesters have begun to block Westminster, where power centers are concentrated, and take action on several sites, including the bridge that faces Big Ben, which the police closed to car traffic.
