Anger over climate crisis moves on to target “luxury activities”Climate activists broke the shop front of Lisbon’s Gucci store in Avenida da Liberdade yesterday, showing how anger over the climate crisis has moved on from simply demonstrating about the use of ‘fossil fuels’. It is now focused on anything that activists deem to be the domain of the privileged. We demand that those who have contributed the most to this crisis should be financially responsible for the cost of the transition. It was two members of the public who went after yesterday’s Gucci hammer-attackers – one of which found herself delivered into the hands of the authorities. Recent climate ‘actions’ in Lisbon have seen activists slapped with large fines (€600 each) to avoid jail terms.
