At least six people have been arrested in central London for spraying paint on several buildings of official institutions to demand the government to stop oil and gas exploration, in a campaign promoted by the campaign that already attacked Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’.
The Just Stop Oil activists have acted against the headquarters of the Home Office, MI5, the Bank of England and the media conglomerate News Corp. They represent «the four pillars that support and maintain the power of the fossil fuel economy», according to the promoters of the protest.
The group has intensified its protests in recent months, to the point that police on Sunday urged citizens to stay on the sidelines after a group of drivers evicted a group of people blocking the center of the English capital, according to the BBC.
