Greta Thunberg's Speech Interrupted at Amsterdam Climate Rally

Man Disrupts Speech Over Political Views; Thunberg Responds with Chant for Climate Justice

  • Greta Thunberg's speech at a climate rally in Amsterdam was interrupted by a man who disagreed with her decision to invite a Palestinian and Afghan woman to speak on stage.
  • The man, whose identity is unclear, stated he was there for a climate demonstration, not a political view, before being escorted off stage.
  • Thunberg responded by leading the crowd in a chant of 'no climate justice on occupied land'.
  • The incident occurred during a march through Amsterdam, which organizers claim was the largest climate protest ever in the Netherlands, with an estimated 70,000 participants.
  • The rally took place 10 days before the Netherlands' general election, with climate change being a key policy area for contesting parties.
