It was as if the historian and writer Philipp Blom knew what was to come. On Wednesday morning he spoke at the conference on energy autonomy in the Festival Hall and remembered the suffragettes who fought for women’s suffrage in England. For a long time with normal campaigns, which didn’t bring any changes. Later, the women’s movement became radicalized – there were disruptive actions, damage to property, hunger strikes. And women’s suffrage came. According to Blom, it would have taken longer without the pressure from the suffragettes. His message: Climate glue actions raise awareness for an important issue; dialogue with activists is necessary.
