Official statement

“We tinted Messi’s illegal mansion in Ibiza… The Mansion is an illegal construction that the footballer acquired for the exorbitant sum of 11 million euros.

“While this is happening, in the Balearic Islands alone, between 2 and 4 people have died as a direct consequence of the heat wave (…) The richest 1% of the population is responsible for the same amount of carbon emissions as the poorest two thirds.

This is only possible if public authorities maintain an economic-social system that threatens life. While the extreme right blames migrants for the crisis and demonstrates extreme violence against them, those of us who fight for a better world are clear that the problem is social inequality. Let’s tackle the problems at the root. We need a radical change of system to face the Climate Crisis,” they said in the statement published on their Instagram.
