Last Generation activists protest half-naked: “We show how vulnerable we are in the face of the crisis”

“Are we obscene? Obscene is a government that continues to use the money of Italian families to line the pockets of fossil companies that are leading us to climate and social collapse” he claims Charlotte33 years old, one of the activists of Last generation who stopped traffic this morning in Rome, topless, to raise public awareness of the government’s climate inaction. With her too Augustine26 years old, tall semi-naked activist decided to tell why she feels much more “vulnerable” in the face of the climatic future that awaits us rather than remaining without clothes for a moment.

The Last Generation blitz was triggered in the mid-morning in via del Tritone, in the Barberini area, near via Sistina. Some buses stopped and citizens protested. Six activists lay down on the pedestrian crossing, holding placards and symbolic chains, in an attempt to stop traffic and draw attention to their complaint for a few minutes. Then the police chased them away.

“Perhaps they will say that we are obscene. But I wonder. Are we obscene? Obscene is what happened yesterday in Emilia Romagna and the Government, which knows that these extreme events will continue to happen and despite this continues to invest in fossil fuels” he also claims Eos.

“I am terrified by what will bring with it the shortage of food and water, the destruction of our territories and our homes, the massive impoverishment of people, the enormous migratory flows and the spread of new diseases: an accentuation of all the disparities: of race, gender, social class, ability, sexual orientation, age. Before this prospect I feel extremely vulnerable, much more than I would feel with my body half naked, blocking a road. I prefer to see myself at do everything that is possible, with my body and in a nonviolent way today, than seeing me fight or defend myself for a piece of bread tomorrow” specifies Agustina.
