Our press statement about the disproportionate police violence today against peaceful protestors participating in #StopFossilSubsidies .
We are peaceful, what are you?
🚨405.000.000.000€ each year in subsidies to fossil fuels - that's 10x more than is spent on climate policies 🤯
That's why today on #EUOpenDay we blocked Brussels with a clear message: #StopFossilSubsidies !
Despite police violence, we stand in our rightful place!
Rome is another town where in Europe today people were asking to stop fossil subsidies. European members states are financing fossils and the climate crisis! Say #stopfossilsubsidies now! #ClimateCrisis #savetheearth
This morning, a group of young people interrupted the open days ceremony at the European Parliament with a peaceful protest asking to #StopFossilSubsidies . Now they are being detained, handcuffed and denied information & access to the bathroom. Belgian police, care to explain?
Today in #bruxelles someone did not want people to say stop fossil subsidies. We are all ove Europe, we do not stop. #stopfossilsubsidies
Berlin another town were today 4 of May people were asking to stop fossil subsidies. Union on climate justice is a coalition of movements which is organising a campaign all over Europe. #stopfossilsubsidies
¿Que por qué nos movilizamos contra los subsidios a los combustibles fósiles? #stopfossilsubsidies
Estos subsidios se intentan justificar como algo que beneficia a la sociedad, pero cuando rascas un poco...aparece lo de siempre.
🧵¡Va mini hilo!

#stopfossilsubsidies #savetheearth
Climate Activists have blocked the main road next to the European Parliament. Will Brussels see the same type of activism against Fossil Subsidies as the ones that rocked The Hague (10.000 people on the highway) over the last year? #StopFossilSubsidies
🚨Stop aux subventions aux energies fossiles ! 🚨
Today, we are 100s of activists from across Europe, blocking the European quarters. #EuropeDay for us means the day our politicians stop funding climate destruction!
1 month before the elections, we say #StopFossilSubsidies !✊🏽
Concerning messages from #Brussels , where legal protesters including minors, #UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Olivier De Schutter and #EU MEP Saskia Bricmont were pushed down and away by the police from their rightful and authorised protest.
Unacceptable! #StopFossilSubsidies
How the situation looked like for other protesters around the city:
#StopFossilSubsidies
Closeby, the police would also have shot the water cannon at peaceful Extinction Rebellion Belgium and Extinction Rebellion Nederland activists blocking Rue Beillard in the #EU quarter.
This is the state defending fossil capital.
