(ANSA) – TURIN, 25 JUL – “The central theme for us is that of decolonization, it is a theme that is often talked about, but just as often they do not take their own responsibilities.

So we are not all in the same boat, we are on the same stormy sea. ”Thus the activists of Fridays for Future during the opening of the proceedings of the second European meeting of the movement, which began in Turin with this plenary and which will continue until 29 July.

“It is clear – they added – that Western countries must take on a historical responsibility, thus managing to give more and more space to all and all the activists around the world who fight and risk a lot to unmask contradictions that overwhelm us. Here we are. we have a privilege that must not be a fault, but a sense of responsibility, because having fewer problems, we have the time and energy to really try to give space and imagine an alternative “.

For the Fridays For Future one of the greatest disappointments of COP26 (the United Nations annual conference on climate change last November) was precisely “the whole battle over the funds to be made available to countries in difficulty and impoverished. when it comes to taking on those responsibilities, he hesitates too much “.

“We are all together in an urban campsite – they stressed – to exchange ideas and opinions on the political practice of struggle and resistance, because we are convinced that climate justice cannot be without social justice”.
