Climate activist Greta Thunberg was briefly interrupted Sunday by a man who approached her on stage after she invited a Palestinian and an Afghan woman to speak at a climate protest in the Dutch capital.
AMSTERDAM — Thunberg was speaking to a crowd of tens of thousands when she invited the women onto the stage. “As a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice. Otherwise, there can be no climate justice without international solidarity,” Thunberg said.
The incident came after tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Amsterdam calling for more action to tackle climate change, in a mass protest just 10 days before a national election. Organizers claimed that 70,000 people took part in the march and called it the biggest climate protest ever in the Netherlands. Thunberg was among those walking through the historic heart of the Dutch capital.
