– This is an alarm. Our world is burning. We are the last generation that can stop the climate catastrophe – shouted two women from the stage of the National Philharmonic. Climate activists disrupted Sunday’s concert and were arrested by the police.
Two activists of the “Ostatnie Pokolenie” group disrupted a concert at the National Philharmonic, held on the occasion of the 80th birthday and 60th anniversary of Antoni Wit’s artistic work. The women stormed the stage shouting: “This is an alarm. Our world is burning. We are the last generation that can stop the climate catastrophe. We demand radical investment in public transport.”
After less than a minute, both activists were removed from the stage by philharmonic security. In the video posted by the formation on social media, we can see, among other things, the conductor snatching a banner from them. During the 50-second event, the orchestra did not stop playing.
