The inclement weather did not deter the protesters from the weather.
Tens of thousands of people braved the rain and gale and joined the
Day of Action and walked the streets of Glasgow
and 200 other cities around the world demanding "real commitments" and "climate justice".
"This is the least accessible summit in history," denounced Asad Rehman, spokesman for the Coalition Cop26 at the start of the march in Kelvingrove Park. "
Only the voices of politicians and the powerful have been heard in the
cordoned off
. Civil society and indigenous communities have been silenced, so we need to raise the volume and demand tangible changes, such as disinvestment in fossil fuels."
Beside her, Brianna Fruean brought the echo of the Pacific Climate Warriors to Glasgow: "In Samoa we feel more and more the threat of the climate.
Storms are becoming more virulent
, floods are now common, shops are declared in ruin and fishermen cannot feed their families. But we cannot drown, we have to resist. "
The storm that hit Glasgow did not prevent a human tide from ending up breaking in
Kelvingrove
, the same place from where the march of Fridays for Future, Greta Thunberg's organization, started the day before, which also joined the delegation on Saturday before its launch. departure.
Between 50,000 and 100,000 protesters joined the multi-colored snake that roamed the streets of the center for hours and finally broke into Glasgow Green, at the other end of the city.
The Cop26 coalition had to expressly ask Chief Minister Nicola Sturgeon to intervene in the face of the intimidating attitude of more than
10,000 agents who ensure the security of the summit
.
Sturgeon promised that the security forces would behave "appropriately."
The Scottish flags and the pro-independence slogans were certainly well present during the march.
