Norwegian police forcibly removed Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg from the siege of the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on Wednesday. She and dozens of other activists protested against two wind farms that, despite the court ruling, were still operating. And to get a stop they want to “shut down the state.”
Television pictures show how, under intense press attention, two agents whisk the environmental activist away. Other activists were also taken. Neither Thunberg nor the others were arrested. Thunberg did not respond after the officers brought her back to the ground.
Later, Thunberg was also moved in a similar action by the Norwegian Ministry of Environment and Climate.
The wind turbines are located in the area where the Sami children live and run their own reindeer husbandry. In October 2021, the 11 justices of Norway’s Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the expropriation and operating permits granted for the construction of 151 turbines were invalid, as they interfered with the cultural reindeer husbandry of Sami families. However, the court did not rule on the fate of the turbines, which are still active after 500 days.
Hard-liners in Oslo are pressing for the demolition of two wind farms in Füssen, a region in western Norway. The protesters have been supported since Sunday by Greta Thunberg, who has joined the blockades. “We should not use so-called climate change as a cover for colonialism,” Thunberg told TV2 on Sunday. Climate change that violates human rights does not deserve to be called climate change.
They were forcibly removed from the DOE entrance hall on the night of Sunday through Monday, but returned in greater numbers Monday morning. They also returned to service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
