Just Stop Oil activists painted Stonhenge orange
“Stonehenge on the solstice is about celebrating the natural world, but look at the state it’s in! “We all have the right to live a life free of suffering, but the continued burning of oil, coal and gas is causing death and suffering on an unprecedented scale.”said 21-year-old Niamh, one of those who painted the monument.
More or less at 12:00 p.m. this June 19, two people related to Just Stop Oil painted the Stonehenge monument with orange powder paint.
All this happens one day before thousands of people arrive at this historic place to celebrate the summer solstice.
According to the statement from the Just Stop Oil organization, everything happened after the Labor Party again promise to stop all future licenses for new sources of oil and gas. This, of course, in case they reach the new government.
Just Stop Oil explains that although the UK government has committed to implementing the demand to produce no new oil and gas, it is not enough because continuing to burn coal, oil and gas “will cause the death of millions of people”.
“That’s why Just Stop Oil demands that our next government sign a legally binding treaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030.“, it reads.
They affirm that if there is no commitment to defend the communities, then supporters of Just Stop Oil They will join with citizens of Austria, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland to form a united resistance.
They explain that stone circles can be found everywhere in Europe that “show how we have always cooperated across great distances – we are building on that legacy”.
