ECOPROTEST IN ROME

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?
