Hundreds of people blocked one of Madrid’s central shopping street Gran Via on Saturday by dancing to demand action against climate change in what protesters dubbed civil disco-bedience.
The protest, called by grassroots green movement Extinction Rebellion. Activists waved flags and danced to songs including the Bee Gees 1977 classic Stayin’ Alive.
“We’ve tried all the normal safe ways - petitions, marches, writing letters to the politicians, so now all we can do is civil disobedience,” Joan, told Reuters. “We’re here on Gran Via in Madrid doing civil disco-bedience,” she added as protesters danced around her.
