Climate justice action blocks the hallway

Climate Justice demonstration in the halls of Moon Palace
As we wait, as we wonder, as the frustration rises, as the end comes closer and no progress is in sight. As we wait in the frantic frenzy of the moon palace, it is inevitable emotions will bubble over.
Actions are a way we as civil society are allowed to have our voices heard here at the unfccc, however over the last few days restrictions on them have become fiercer and fiercer.
We just saw the first of the frustration bubble over with a group of about 10 people blocking one of the hallways here in the moon palace. They were from climate justice groups and they were calling out the unfccc process. They were bringing into the process the voices of indigenous people, of vulnerable people, of the people who this process should be about.
They remained for about 15 minutes before being forcibly removed by security.
Lets see what the rest of this day brings. As we wait, as we wonder, as frustration continues to rise, is this just the beginning?
