“Welcome to hell,” an angry shareholder shouted at the start of the meeting. “I refuse to accept your hell on earth,” he continued, then chanted the words “Shell” and “hell.” ,, Do you like nature, and do you like wild animals? Because you kill them,” the argument sounded.
After several minutes, chairman Andrew Mackenzie tried to cut the diatribe short. When this seemed to work, a group of about fifteen people got up and started to sing: ‘Go to hell Shell, and don’t you come back no more’, to the tune of the song Hit the Road Jack.
After several minutes of singing, security guards carried the singers out of the hall. But then activists stood up again in different corners of the room to shout slogans against Shell.
The protests are not completely out of the blue. Last year, the shareholders’ meeting was also disrupted by climate activists. Then the protest lasted for hours.
