Many children can no longer play in parks, why? Because there are drug dealers in the parks and these drug dealers are left where they are. The government is interested in arresting activists but does not arrest drug dealers who sell drugs at all hours of the day. In the parks you can find syringes on the ground, you can no longer spend a few hours relaxing in nature because all these people are there and deal. But the government doesn't seem to see them at all. The Italian government only sees activists trying to get people talking about the damage the climate is doing to all agriculture and the environment. The government is not interested in knowing how many people are in danger from landslides or river floods. The government is only interested in the activists to be arrested because they throw natural paints on the monuments or charcoal in the fountains. Are these things more harmful than people dealing drugs in every park in every city and country?
When drug dealers are arrested they are in jail for two days and then they get out and are free again and go again to deal drugs in the same places, as if nothing had happened. They are allowed to do whatever they want, anywhere, in the streets, parks, squares, anywhere. Citizens can no longer stay in parks, they can't take their children to play, they can't enjoy nature. This government does not think about the citizens. This government thinks only of activists. The scammers are free, the drug dealers are free and the activists are all in jail. Evidently this government has a somewhat strange idea of what are the priorities of citizenship and citizens' lives.
I'd like to see happy children playing in the parks, smelling the flowers, running and having fun without being afraid of syringes in the meadows. On the other hand, children can no longer play in parks and I find this unfair and all administrations and governments should worry about the future of these children who can no longer play outdoors and cannot socialize. So why not put the drug dealers in jail and leave the activists alone? Activists are teaching us to think more about the climate, nature and the environment. They do it in an extreme way, it's true, but the message is the right one and the government should stop keeping real criminals free and clean up the parks of all this crap that we have to see every day in our cities, which have now become their territory , where criminals rule and not the police.
A group of activists from the Ultima Generazione movement threw black liquid, vegetable charcoal, into the Trevi Fountain.
During the action, a small banner for the "we don't pay for fossils" campaign was unfurled and activists shouted: "Our country is dying".
Some are blatantly against these types of protests because they say monuments are being damaged. But if the activists do this then they are put on the front pages and talk about it on all TVs, when instead they make protests of another kind, nobody talks about it. Is it right to go to extreme protests of this kind to be heard? In Italy it seems that the government authorities do not have a clear understanding of the climate situation, so much so that in recent days there have been floods in the Bologna area, with 13 dead and thousands of people left homeless.
All of these things are part of a climate situation that the government continues to ignore. In fact, in so many countries where there are rivers they don't clean the canals, they don't do maintenance, and not because there isn't any money but because those in the administration screw them over. Then when these disastrous storms happen then they start talking about the weather. But on other days nobody says anything and this situation has been going on for a very long time. Activists are not terrorists! They are just trying to draw attention to certain topics that are never talked about. The government judges them criminals but then does nothing to avoid disasters such as the floods of these days. In Italy there are many geologists who are never listened to and jobs that are never carried out and checked.
There are many countries with flood risk, there are many countries with landslide risk but the Italian government is more busy arresting activists rather than trying to manage these emergencies. The government has not even created a special commission for all these climatic emergencies. He cares about what activists are doing who are only trying to bring up real issues and are not being heard and the only way to be seen and heard is this. There is no different way because in Italy if you don't do certain uncomfortable things nobody follows you.
The glaciers are melting but in many countries they don't even know what separate waste collection is. The government has focused on certain objectives but the climate is the least of its thoughts. Meanwhile nature is rebelling and more storms will arrive and more floods and environmental disasters. So is it the fault of the boys who throw black water into a fountain, to make it clear that the seas are now polluted, or a government that is not interested in such an important issue?
