18.03.2019 - On Friday morning, about 300 pupils and students went to La Laguna to fight for a better future for Planet Earth. In the evening there was another protest march in the capital Santa Cruz, which went from the Plaza Weyler to Plaza de Candelaria, where they read their manifesto. It was initiated by four schoolgirls, joined by other pupils and students, as well as families and pensioners. They demanded a reversal of climate policy, an end to the extinction of species and finally effective measures. Around 2,000 people joined the march. "Not even two weeks ago, we developed the idea of participating in this Friday march among four schoolmates. We counted on perhaps two dozen fellow protesters. We would never have thought that so many would join us," explained Natalia Díaz, spokeswoman for the movement. She announced that this protest would now take place every Friday until there was a political reaction. more...
