Greta Thunberg Detained at Brussels Climate Protest Against Fossil Fuel Subsidies

“Our politicians have failed us,” a campaigner said. “European leaders’ continued support for the fossil fuel industry raises serious questions about their commitment to effective climate action.”

Renowned activist Greta Thunberg was detained on Saturday at a climate protest in Brussels aimed at ending European Union fossil fuel subsidies.

By Edward Carver

The protest included hundreds of campaigners from Extinction Rebellion and other groups; they came together under the name United for Climate Justice (UCJ). One group of them marched in an area near the European Parliament, while another group that included Thunberg blocked a section of the Boulevard du Jardin Botanique.
