A dozen Extinction Rebellion activists this morning re-entered the headquarters of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and smeared the side entrance of via Capitan Bavastro and some rooms inside, up to the fifth floor.
The young people then stopped at the entrance and were carried away by the police and carabinieri.
A dozen were placed in custody.
Already yesterday morning the activists had entered the Ministry and had smeared the main entrance and internal rooms.
The young people ask for a meeting with the ministers of the Draghi government on the climate crisis and announce that they will continue with their actions until they have it.
"In the face of humanity's climate disaster, what do you want two paint stains to be?".
One of the arrested Extinction Rebellion activists told reporters present.
Another activist, with a Northeast accent, said "we are desperate. We don't like to smudge. We sent a lot of emails, we asked for a meeting with the minister. We asked him to look us in the eye and tell us which direction we are going. , because science agrees that we are heading towards collapse. We are destroying the ecosystems that support us and we are only making economic interests. "
Cingolani, before speaking to me, please apologize
.
"I've always met everyone and talked to everyone. I've never received requests for meetings from Extinction Rebellion. But now if they want to talk to me, first they have to apologize for what they did. Not to me, but to the institution." .
The Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani, told reporters this morning.
The Ministry only received an email from Extinction Rebellion on December 13, asking for a meeting.
There are no further emails, nor a mail bombing.
