Jan. 1 () –
The environmental collective Extinction Rebellion has announced the lifting of its lockdowns in the UK in order to dedicate its next efforts to organizing a large demonstration against the British Government in April.
“We leave it,” the organization announced on its Twitter account. “Our New Year’s resolution will be to stop our public disruption tactics,” he confirmed.
The organization has been involved in various actions for months that have paralyzed the movement of vehicles and people in the United Kingdom and other countries in the world to raise awareness of the need to combat the climate crisis, in the face of criticism that describes these “tactics” as ineffective and annoying.
One of the latest operations took place last month at the Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport, when more than 200 Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace activists were arrested after occupying an area used by private planes for hours.
“We recognize and celebrate the power of disruption to raise the alarm and believe that ever-evolving tactics are a necessary approach. Disrupting abuse of power and imbalance is what is needed most now to transition to a just society.” “, they explain in a statement published on their website.
“Instead,” he adds, “we ask everyone to help us interrupt this corrupt government,” according to the message accompanied by the slogan “Choose your future” and by the day and place of the march: April 21, before the British Parliament.
