The Swedish climate campaigner, Greta Thunberg was in Basel over the weekend. She joined the People’s Parade, which was marching to end the financing of fossil fuels.
The aim was to present a petition to the Bank of International Settlements, which held a meeting of central bankers yesterday.
The police stopped the march from reaching the building.
Thunberg has called the bank ‘the global watchdog of the financial system.’ She refused all interview requests when in Basel.
Meanwhile in Geneva, activists from Renovate Switzerland placed a banner on the Reformation Wall in the Parc des Bastions and blindfolded the statues. The banner claimed the government is hiding its face during the climate emergency.
