The classical music festival is boycotted by environmental activists

Two activists from “Just Stop Oil” boycotted “The Proms,” a series of classical concerts, on Friday night.

Two environmental protesters from Britain’s “Just Stop Oil” movement briefly interrupted a classical concert Friday night in London. And as it appears in a video clip posted by the movement on social media, the two activists tried to hold up a banner, before they were quickly smuggled out by the security forces.

And they stepped in during ‘The Prom’, a series of classical concerts staged at the Royal Albert Hall.

Actions against works of art

“We can’t afford to mess around while Rome burns,” wrote ‘Just Stop Oil’ on Twitter, adding that the activists “fired confetti and shouted, calling on the UK government to immediately suspend all new oil and gas agreements and licences.” They tried to address the public before being forcibly removed.”

according to sky newsThe event took place on the first night of “The Proms”. The Just Stop Oil group has been characterized in recent months by targeting works of art. Activists particularly targeted John Constable’s painting Hi Wayne at the National Gallery in London, sunflower by Vincent van Gogh or so The girl with the pearl earring by Johannes Vermeer.
