Protest in Seville to Stop Killer Coal

Fourteen activists wearing protective pollution masks held up banners reading “STOP KILLER COAL” and placed a 65 metres banner on top of Seville hotel Meliá Lebreros, where European government delegations are meeting to discuss new EU coal pollution standards. The activists criticized the fact that most national delegations setting the new standards have been captured by the coal industry. A recent Greenpeace investigation revealed how fourteen European countries requested energy utilities to represent their governments in the meeting.
