While admitting that the massive protest is causing problems for Londoners, the protagonist of In the name of the father warned that ‘it is much more inconvenient to leave a planet that is so destroyed, because our grandchildren will have to face things we can not even imagine’.

This movement is telling the government that there is no time, that it can not continue lying or continue delaying (in giving an answer), and that we will stay on the streets until it acts, because that is the only way to save our planet, he added. .

The protesters, who occupy since Monday the Waterloo Bridge, the Parliament Square and the Oxford Circus commercial intersection, in open defiance of the order of the Metropolitan Police to remain in the Marble Arch area, threatened to close tomorrow Heathrow International Airport.

Extinction Rebellion, which claims to have 331 branches in 49 countries, says the London protest is part of a global action that will run until April 29, to demand that governments disclose the truth about the magnitude of the environmental tragedy existing

So far, more than 400 activists have been arrested, and even three of them were formally indicted on Thursday for obstructing public transportation in the financial district of Canary Wharf.

In this regard, the Interior Minister, Sajid Javid, urged the Metropolitan Police to use all the force of law when dealing with protesters.

According to the local press, the official’s statements have as background a video that circulates on social networks where three agents are seen dancing together with activists in the Oxford Circus area.

It is estimated that the economic losses from the closure of shops located in the city center exceed 10 million pounds sterling, while the London Transport Service reported that diverted 55 bus routes that cross the area.
