Greenpeace representatives criticized UK Prime Minister Liz Truss and her party’s policies after interrupting the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, UK, on Wednesday, October 5.
Footage posted to the Greenpeace UK Twitter page shows the representatives speaking to a group of individuals.
“Nobody voted for fracking, nobody voted to cut benefits, nobody voted to trash nature, nobody voted to scrap workers’ rights,” one of the representatives says. “We needed to take that message and represent the public and actually push for Liz Truss to remain true to what the public has actually asked her and her government to do.”
Greenpeace said it had identified at least seven areas across environmental protection, climate action, workers’ rights, and tackling inequality where policies either confirmed or being considered by Truss and her ministers were “at odds” with the 2019 Conservative Party manifesto.
