Protesters from the Ultima
Generazione group on Wednesday sprayed orange paint over the
walls at the entrance to the Rome headquarters of State lender
Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) as part of a series
controversial actions aimed at highlighting the need to address
the climate crisis.
The protestors then glued themselves to the entrance with a
banner reading 'no gas, no coal'.
"I'm fed up of the money of the citizens of my country, the
years of savings of families like mine, the efforts of female
and male workers, literally being thrown away in projects
supporting fossil fuels," said David, one of the protestors.
"With its capital CDP, which is 80% controlled by the State,
enables big polluters such as ENI, SNAM and SAIPEM to continue
to invest in gas, oil and coal in Italy and abroad.
"As the International Energy Agency says, every euro invested in
fossil-fuel sources is invested in the death of people, in the
destruction of my future and that of the generation I belong
to".
