Eco activists stormed the Paris Motor Show today and tried their best to get their point across, moments before they were arrested by authorities.
A group by the name of Extinction Rebellion Activists began to infiltrate the show, causing it to come to a sudden standstill. While it didn’t take too long for the cops to intervene, the activists started to glue their hands onto expensive luxe vehicles such as Ferrari supercars.
The dozens of XR protesters appeared to be raising their voices against the term ‘individual car models’ that the automobile industry is promoting at the moment.
They feel the time has come to raise their voices against the global forms of self-destruction being carried out. After all, it’s now or never, according to them.
Out of the 12 activists that stormed the showroom, around found of them sat on the ground and covered their hands with super glue and then opted to stick them onto the Ferrari models.
This was clearly a lot of damage being done to the vehicle’s hoods and it sparked outrage among the car dealership which called the behavior unacceptable and invited the police to handle the matter.
Throughout the footage, loud chants could be heard from miles away while people attending the Motor Show watched silently as the horror unfolded before their eyes.
A total of 11 people were arrested as confirmed by XR recently. There were even banners being displayed above the vehicles that stated, ‘Global of self-destruction’ but even those were soon confiscated by the authorities.
After the event was over, the group took to their public account on Twitter to explain the movement and justify their actions.
They claim to have been there for several minutes and didn’t find anything wrong with the behavior. “We’re just doing our part in denouncing the polluting industry”- they confirmed.
