Environmental Activists Target Ibiza Airport
Activists from environmental organizations Futuro Vegetal and XR Eivissa (Extinction Rebellion) gained unauthorized access to the parking platform of private jets at Ibiza airport. Their protest involved spray painting a jet and occupying the plane.
Air Traffic Not Affected, Says Aena
Despite claims by the activists of disrupting air traffic, Aena, the authority responsible for airports and air navigation, denies any impact on operations. They state that the airport’s operation remains normal and any slight delays are unrelated to the activists’ actions.
Arrests and Charges
Civil Guard agents reportedly arrested at least four activists involved in the protest. These individuals have been detained and face charges of damage and public disorder. They were taken to the Sant Josep headquarters for further processing.
Protest Campaign Objectives
The protest, part of the campaign “Jets and Yachts, the Party’s Over” organized by the platform “Eivissa Es Rebel·la,” aims to demand a ban on private jets and the reduction of luxury emissions. It seeks to draw attention to the environmental impact of excessive consumption and call for a change in the agri-food system to address the climate crisis.
Urgent Action Needed for the Climate Crisis
Activists argue that political parties lack forceful measures to address the climate crisis and implement necessary changes. They emphasize the need for a new production model and stress that the effects of the climate crisis require immediate collective action by society.
Building a Sustainable Future
The responsibility to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis lies with society as a whole. The activists urge collaborative efforts and emphasize the urgency of addressing the climate crisis to avoid dire consequences for the planet.
