Dancing crowds protest in Madrid while climate leaders meet 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersMADRID– Hundreds of people blocked one of Madrid’s most emblematic streets on Saturday by dancing to demand action against climate change in what protesters dubbed civil disco-bedience. The protest, called by grassroots green movement Extinction Rebellion, blocked the central shopping street Gran Via. “We’re here on Gran Via in Madrid doing civil disco-bedience,” she added as protesters danced around her. The protest coincides with Madrid hosting the annual UN climate summit, which opened last Monday with a call from UN chief Antonio Guterres not to be the “generation … that fiddled while the planet burned”.
