Photo Report From the Climate Strike in Bratislava (20. 9. 2019)
20/09/2019
As a union we wrote a statement related to today’s protest and also participated in person as part of the “dark green” block that marched behind the big banner of Bod obratu collective “Let’s change the system, not the climate”.
When we visited the first, rather small protest a few months ago, it had a very different atmosphere from today’s strike which brought together two to three thousand people. Although this time the call for strike was addressed mainly to workers, the vast majority of protesters were pupils and students. After approximately one hour devoted to the official programme, the loud and colourful crowd adorned with a lot of banners moved, marching through the streets and blocking traffic. The march ended in front of the parliament.
“Capitalism: green shit is still a shit” was a slogan on one of our placards and it was nice to see that there were other similar banners. Although we presented our opinion with a bit of humor, we realize that the topic is serious and will continue to pay attention to it.
