(ANSA-AFP) - LONDON, JUNE 20 - The racist demonstrations under the banner of 'Black Lives Matter' show that the company has reached a "point of no return" where the injustices are finally dealt with. "It is as if we have passed a kind of social tipping point where people start to realize that we can no longer hide behind a finger with respect to these things," said 17-year-old Greta Thunberg in an interview with the BBC, "we cannot keep putting these things under the carpet, these injustices. "
The interview aired as anti-racist troops returned to the streets in several parts of the world that followed for days after the death in Minneapolis of GeorgeFloyd, an African American man who died while in police custody. In London even today hundreds of people are returning to demonstrate in the city center: the meeting point in Hyde park, to then proceed towards Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, under the watchful but remote gaze of the security forces. A more contained procession than those who have marched in the past two weekends in the British capital and in which dozens of people have been arrested. (ANSA-AFP). (HANDLE).
