This morning (14.5.19), several groups of people disrupted the FLAME conference in Amsterdam, Europe’s biggest gas industry conference. #FlameOver
What ?
This morning, several groups of climate protectors disrupted the 25th birthday edition of Flame.
Protestors entered the five-star Okura hotel in Amsterdam, where Flame is being held, and disrupted the conference before being forcibly removed. Speeches and protest continued in front of the hotel.
One person was arrested, journalists were ejected and the security heavily reacted towards all protestors showing how desperate the gas industry is to keep its dirty business dealings a secret and away from the public gaze.
It was reported that senior RWE speaker Andree Stracke said from the stage: “Industry is underestimating the pressure and the will of the people to switch to renewables”.
