Gent The 18-year-old Hanne The Guytenaer led this morning as 3,000 pupils and students by the centre of Ghent to argue for the climate. The zesdejaarsleerling of the Steinerschool was by the young people applauded like a rock star. “Opponents can say what they want. I’m not interested in waking up.”
The Ghent klimaatmars had this morning with the late more of a festival than a demonstration. As a born demagogue shouted Hanne the bosbrossers far from St michael’s bridge. The Recolletenlei kept the young environmentalists a short-lived sit-inactie and under the town hall went wild goings-on with a moshpit for the climate. From the start at the Sint-Pietersplein to the stage under the town hall shouted Hanne the lungs out of her body to the other youths eager to get. The girl was in the past described as the ‘Ghent Anuna’, but she is not a fan of that comparison. “I’m just Hanne.” Who her Thursday morning to saw the work, know what they mean. Stage fright is clearly not in the dictionary of the 18-year old student.
