Another environmental blitz by Last Generation activists.
This time the sights are rounded off by the splendid Fountain of the Four Rivers built in the 1600s in Piazza Navona (Rome) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The activists have poured vegetable charcoal diluted in water to sound the alarm about the "black future" that awaits humanity and which is already manifesting itself with ever more frequent droughts and floods.
Upon the arrival of the police forces, they resisted passively and were removed and taken away by the police officers who intervened.
These are the declarations of Anna, one of the activists: " Our future is as black as this water : without water there is no life and with the increase in temperatures we are exposed to drought, on the one hand, and to floods, on the other other. Water that is missing to grow food, water that falls all together destroying the houses. Difficult years await us, but if we don't zero emissions immediately they will be terrible . The collapse is already underway and we can no longer stop it: proof of this is the increasingly frequent and devastating extreme events, such as the flood in Emilia Romagna a few days ago. This is why we ask the government to immediately divest the billions it spends on fossil fuels , the main cause of these tragedies, and use them to take urgent measures to protect Italians and Italians from the consequences of water bombs, extreme drought, deadly heat waves".
