Two climatic activists launched red paint on the facade of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to protest inactive against the “climate crisis” that favored, according to environmentalists, the recent forest fires devastated Spain this Sunday, August 31.
In a video posted by future vegetable on social networks, we see two activists from the association arrested by security agents after having sprayed with painting the bottom of a column of the famous cathedral, shouting: “Climate Justice”.
“Lack of measures against the climatic crisis”
“With this protest, the ecological collective denounces the absence of government measures against the climatic crisis and its repercussions on fires that devastated the peninsula and a large part of Europe this summer,” said a vegetable future in a statement.
The Sagrada Familia, designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) but still unfinished, is one of the main attractions of the tourist city of Barcelona. Spain underwent a wave of dramatic forest fires in August that caused the death of four people and devastated more than 350,000 hectares.
These fires constitute “one of the greatest environmental disasters” that the country has known in recent years, according to the government of the left, which has linked its magnitude with climate change.
Future vegetable has produced dozens of similar protests in recent years, denounced as vandalism by many museums, including one in 2022, where their activists put their hands with glue to the frames of the paintings of the Spanish teacher Francisco de Goya in the Prado Museum in Madrid.
