The man, who approached Thunberg on the stage told her that he’s “here for a climate demonstration, not a political view.” As per the AP report, the man’s identity was not immediately clear.

The incident came after a sea of people marched through the streets of Amsterdam calling for more climate action to tackle climate change, in a mass protest just 10 days before a national election. Organizers also claimed that 70,000 people took part in the march and called it the biggest climate protest ever in the Netherlands.

Ahead of Thunberg’s address, a small group of activists also waved Palestinian flags and chanted pro-Palestinian slogans. She appeared undeterred and was later seen dancing behind the stage as band played.
