The Extinction Rebellion movement has returned many streets and symbolic places around the world this Monday to denounce the impending massacre of the movement. In the most significant cities, shouting at climate change has been heard. From 7 October to 20, two weeks of protests and initiatives are expected to take place throughout the year. Several sit-ins and roadblocks have been implemented during the first day of the claim, although in some cases there have been a large number of detainees.

The demonstrators have reached the 135 detainees in London and have tried to cut off the Westminster road to block the way in and out of British parliamentarians. Activists have also taken some bridges and walkways.

50 people have been arrested in Amsterdam during demonstrations in the Dutch capital.

In the Spanish state as a whole, Madrid has been the center of the protests, according to Interior. The activists have been installed in the New Ministries and in the assembly that has been held at the door of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition have decided that they will camp until Friday.

In Berlin, protests and traffic cuts have also been recorded by protesters. In the city of Heidelberg it has been the most striking image that has been spread by Germany: the faces have been painted and many people with red views have taken to the streets of the city, emphasizing that they are not afraid of confronting the police forces.

In Paris, hundreds of people have concentrated on the Châtelet Square to protest against the reform of the law. The authorities have denounced the slowness with which they are confronted with climate problems.

On the other hand, initiatives by sea have also been carried out in the United States. A funeral has been staged in New York, symbolizing a death close to ecology and the world. In New Zealand and Australia there have also been protests, with one or the other arrested, and injuries have been reported.
