00:00 Climate activist Greta Thunberg was recently heckled and her speech was interrupted by
00:07 an unknown man on stage.
00:09 After inviting a Palestinian and an Afghani woman to speak at a climate protest in the
00:13 Dutch capital, Thunberg was approached on stage by a man on Sunday.
00:18 When Thunberg called the woman onto the stage, she was addressing an audience of tens of
00:22 thousands of people.
00:23 "As a movement for climate justice, we must pay attention to the voices of the oppressed
00:27 and those battling for justice and freedom.
00:30 Alternatively, without global security, climate justice is impossible," Thunberg stated.
00:34 But it seemed that Ms Thunberg's supporters did not approve of her political stance.
00:38 Immediately, a man entered the stage and snatched the mic and said to Thunberg, "I have come
00:43 here for a climate demonstration, not a political view," before he was let off it.
00:48 This was after the woman from Afghanistan and Palestine had finished speaking and Thunberg
00:53 had resumed her speech.
00:54 "We have not been listening.
00:56 The people in power have not been listening."
00:58 "I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view."

01:51 Who the man was, was not immediately apparent, but he was wearing a jacket, said Water Nature
01:52 Lake, a group of those members who are chosen to serve on the Dutch water boats.
01:53 The event was reported by the organizers to have attracted close to 70,000 participants,
01:56 making it the largest climate protest in Dutch history.
01:59 Thunberg was one of the people drifting through the historic district of Dutch capital.
02:03 Still, a man interrupted her blissful moment.
02:06 Prior to this, pro-Palestinian demonstrators had already interrupted the event earlier.
02:10 A group of small activists at the front of the crowd briefly stopped the event to wave
02:15 Palestinian flags and chant pro-Palestinian slogans, which Thunberg was supportive of.
