For several months environmental activists have a new way of acting to attract attention to them. Then it consists of touching hands to the ground, to works of art, or even to cars. Indeed, a few days ago, the latter demonstrated at one of the stands of the Paris Motor Show, degrading several vehicles by applying glue to them. The demands are numerous and sometimes a little vague, with demonstrators wanting to take drastic action against an individual car, against heat engines, or even against the very idea of a car. But very often it ends funny.

Funny situation
This is exactly what happened on October 19. Several environmental activists stormed the Porsche pavilion of the Autostat in Wolfsburg and pressed their hands to the ground to protest against pollution created by the transport sector. One of the leaders of the movement even announced a hunger strike until the authorities take any measures. Except that once their hands were taped together, the activists asked Volkswagen to provide them with ” potties to pee and relieve ourselves decently while we were stuck“. The request was rejected by the brand, which wanted to bring the demonstrators face to face with their responsibilities. But that’s not all, because the situation becomes even more absurd.

No light, no heating
Undoubtedly very annoyed by the actions of these environmentalists in their premises, the employees of the German brand also decided turn off the heating and lights buildings Ecologically, you tell me! Unless the protesters didn’t like it, who also complained about it. Did you say funny? Volkswagen, however, agreed to give them food, but forbade them from delivering their own orders. Eventually everything went back to normal, and some of them still ended up in the hospital after a few hours on the ground.
