Join us in the streets of Brussels on May 12th to put pressure on the federal government to stop the gas contract between Fluxys and Russia. The gas contract makes Zeebrugge the largest hub for Russian liquefied gas in the world.
Why?
* By allowing Russian gas to flow through the port of Zeebrugge, we strengthen Russia's military capability that will allow it to sustain its war of aggression against Ukraine.
* The Russian gas industry is highly dependent on access to Zeebrugge. By denying that access, we undermine Russia's plans to triple its LNG production capacity by 2030, which would be an outright climate disaster.
We need to send a clear message to the government:
* Our trade relations should help protect human rights, rather than fund wars.
* Fossil fuels and infrastructure expansion are plans of the past and have no future.
This protest invites members of the Ukrainian community, so we keep a serene tone as we commemorate the victims of war. Our march departs at energy minister Tinne Van der Straeten's office, and heads to the headquarters of Fluxys.
We want this event to be accessible to everyone. If you encounter financial, language or other barriers, or if you have questions about accessibility or other matters, please do not hesitate to send an email to jo@vredesactie.be.
In our events, there is no space for sexism, racism, ageism, ableism, trans- or LGBT-phobia and other forms of hatred.
