A group of around 10 activists from the Climáximo movement shattered and painted the windows on the facade of Galp’s new headquarters, in Lisbon, this Tuesday.
The group wrote the phrase “Galp: neither here nor anywhere” on the building’s facade.
A PSP source informed that they received the alert at 7:14 am and when the authorities arrived at the scene, none of the elements were there, so no one was identified.
In a statement, the Climáximo movement confirms the acts described by the PSP.
The collective criticizes the company’s “killer business”, days after confirming the discovery of reserves “equivalent to 10 billion barrels of oil in Namibia, or more than 100 years of oil consumption for Portugal”.
“It is intolerable that, in the midst of the climate crisis, companies like Galp continue to have ‘carte blanche’ to perpetuate the mass murder of people around the world through the incessant burning of fossil fuels”, says Inês Teles, spokesperson for action launched this Tuesday in Lisbon, mentioned in the statement.
And he adds: “Breaking the windows of this headquarters is an act of self-defense against a colonial and murderous company, which claims to be a leader in the green transition, but continues to inaugurate new deadly projects for the extraction of fossil fuels in countries like Mozambique and Namibia”.
