Just Stop Oil, soup for Van Gogh's play, is immersed in a direct action campaign

  • The environmental organization Just Stop Oil took the attention of the media around the world last week after putting the soup into a painting of Van Gogh with a glass in front. But it wasn't an isolated action. Since the beginning of the precarious environmental campaign, day by day, protests have been taking place in London and more than 370 people have already been arrested. We have collected videos from the initiatives.

On 21 October, Friday morning, members of the Just Stop Oil group have painted the facade of Harrods, one of the world’s department stores, using paint extinguishers, while blocking the accesses.

"People will freeze at home this winter while the government refuses to pay taxes to the rich," one of the spokesmen said.

Police arrest 18 members for this act. You can see the video here.

These climate change activists are aiming to draw attention to the issue and announce that in October they will conduct protests every day. At the moment, the pulse is maintained and disobedient protests are taking place every day. Below are several videos from your Youtube channel.

And who are the Just Stop Oil? On its website they are presented as follows: "It is a multi-group coalition to ensure that the government does not grant new licences for the search, development and production of fossil fuels in the UK." They say that this is the first step towards survival. They say that there are between 20 and 30 weekly meetings, in-person and online, in the many cities of the United Kingdom.

In October, every day at 11:00 in the morning they are cited in Westminster under the slogan Occupy Westminster.
