Protest aims to force Volkswagen to take steps to slow climate change
Last week, a group called Scientist Rebellion appeared at the Porsche Pavilion in the Autostadt automobile theme park near the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany.
What they did was stick the flyers they had prepared with a large amount of adhesive to the cars on display, and even glued their palms to the floor in front of Porsche. thing.
The adhesive is reported as Superglue in English, so this is a so-called instant adhesive. It's like the famous Aron Alpha in Japan.
No~! It's an instant glue, and even if your fingers stick a little, you're in a lot of trouble and rushing, but you put it on your palm and stuck it to the floor? ? ?
No, no, did you stick flyers on the cars before that? ! Nooooo. That's not true. terrible.
It seems that the purpose of their action was to appeal to Volkswagen to take some measures to slow down climate change. The condition is that I will be able to talk directly with him."
By the way, what I was asking VW to do to slow climate change was:
- VW to take measures to promote public transport
- 100 km/h speed limit on German highways
I understand that you want to protect the earth, and I am sure that it is also an important issue that we must actually do something about.
But there is a way to appeal to things, well, at least I don't understand this way.
As for the end of this protest, it seems that it ended within 48 hours after all, and the group members (9 people) who did this act were arrested.
Of course, Mr. Oliver Blume didn't come, and on the contrary, the Autostadt staff turned off the lights and heaters after work (laughs).
In addition, the arrestees did not respond to requests from people who had glued their hands to the floor to "prepare a bowl" for peeing on the spot. It's a dissatisfaction with VW (what is it (laughs)).
By the way, the man who is supposed to be the leader of the group noticed that the hands that were glued together were about twice as swollen as the hands that were not glued together, and he said, ``If you don't do well, you may develop a blood clot and die. ?" and left the place first. I don't know.
After 24 hours of remaining glued to the floor and a nearly sleepless night my hand got swollen. The Wolkswagen manager had initially refused to let a doctor in but eventually accepted. pic.twitter.com/gUlbLk64jq

I heard that there is still a lot of controversy about this matter, but for me
"Should we take seriously the warnings of people who planned to pee when they were protesting and didn't know where or how?"
I wonder if I like the media that was written.
Glue and paint (oil) are sprinkled on Ferrari at the Paris Motor Show
A few days after the people who stuck their hands in this Porsche pavilion were arrested, this time a group of 12 activists called Extinction Rebellion France entered the Paris motor show.
Here he said that he scattered black paint on the classic Ferraris. By the way, although there is an article written as black paint, there is also a story that it was actually oil.

Furthermore, 4 out of the 12 members of the group apparently glued their hands to the body of the Ferrari car this time. Put your hands on Testarossa.
So, did they take measures against the toilet? Did you learn As long as you watch the video, you won't learn.
For the time being, 11 people were arrested in a few minutes at this time, so I think that there was no problem with the toilet on the spot.
Well, anyway, there are people who do terrible things.
