Protesters Outside Legislatures across the Country

Phanama — Large swarms of people have gathered outside the Houses of the National Assembly, carrying banners with the words: ‘Forget Fossil Fuels Already’, ‘All We Do with Oil is Spoil’, ‘Natural Gas? We’ll Pass’, ‘They Don’t Renew, We Aren’t Lying to You’ and many others. They are saying that they ‘will not move until the government makes a greater effort to lower Phanama’s carbon footprint’. Protesters have also gathered outside provincial legislatures in Greenville, Actora, District 4 and Vesper.

It is estimated that around 80,000 people, in total, are participating in these protests.

This comes after the government unveiled a plan with the goal of Phanama getting all of its energy from renewable sources by the year 2039. However, according to the plan, Phanama would still be getting 0.72% of its energy from oil in 2039. This is likely one of the main causes of the protests.

While multiple politicians have condemned the protests and others have commended them, the President and the Prime Minister are yet to comment on the protests.
