“It’s a mix of things and a quick dose of nervousness,” laughs the 49-year-old Johanna Vandenbussche. Ze is empty of a Gentse school, and it is done by actiegroep Teachers for Climate. Comend weekend there will be some action taken by Code Rood, a new consortium of climate groups such as Greenpeace and Youth for Climate that another year will be done by citizens.
“I have given me the option for a group that has greater potential for confrontation with politics. I’ll have it in pepper spray or a couple of bucks, let’s say that the kans state.”
Also Vandenbussche had no idea what the Code Rood was for the weekend on the toeslaan. Total Energies has disappearing sites in the country, with a refinery in Antwerp, petrochemical sites in Feluy and Antwerp, a gas central in Marchienne-au-Pont and a network of 550 petrol stations.
“Om de actie te doen slagen krijgen we pas op het last moment de nodige informatie”, says zegt.
Hair slaapzak is clear, not as a rainy day, drinkwater, a tent and a isolatiedeken. De actie zal het het weekend in beslag nemen.
“So long as possible and for two of the works of Total Energies than for the actions,” says Keesha Orts, the word for the Code Rood in the lid of Extinction Rebellion.
The inspiration comes from the countryside. In the Netherlands there was an actiegroep onder dezelfde naam protesten tegen de gaswinning in Groningen. Main het large front is Germany, was the end of the site on the name of the building with the bezetting of koolmijnen and the open area of the construction site for a long terminal block.
The activities are kept secret from the beginning of the climate protests in a new phase.
“The betogingen en petities hebben het thema op de kaart gezet en hebben zeker effect gehad, maar blijkbaar volstaan ze niet voor een systeemverandering”, says Keesha Orts. “He is still rightly affected by the climate, and we are going to stay in front of the citizens.”
It is known that these rules of betting are exceeded, so that the blocking of the site is concerned, depending on the value of the building. There will be a ‘actieconsensus’ opgesteld, but there are other actions to be taken in the home. De afgelopen maanden deden een vijfhonderdtal candidates mee aan trainings, waar ze or other empty den hoe ze door de power van het gotal door een politiecordon knnen breken en hoe ze rustig reacten than de politie chargeert.
So long de actievoerders geen haat propaganda, pity berokkenen, sabotage plegen of overgaan tot other vormen van geweld, schouwen de vigilheidsdiensten dit as activisme and not as extremisme. Maar at TotalEnergies building is clear. It can be stated that the person on the day of the site cannot be delayed.
“Our industrial vestigingen is during the day and night in Bedrijf, you also have the clock around and we are going to add that weekend extra to the day”, says Tom Claerbout from TotalEnergies Belgium. “We raise de organisatie iets verstevigd. Our first notice is that there are no vigilance risks, for one’s own person and for those who wish to act.
Nog for Code Rood existed Total Energies vergaderd with other climatic organizations om he te overtuigen van the big ambities van het bedrijf. Last year the Total was changed to TotalEnergies, because it would be a matter of interest in energy transit. ‘Greenwashing’, zeggen de actievoerders.
“91 percent of the country’s infrastructure is in the moment fossil, 75 percent of the country’s investment is still in fossil fuels”, says Keesha Orts. “That’s hun core business.”
