Protest at COP30
Protesters invaded the space, the protest left a security guard injured. Governor of California does not hesitate with his words.
The World Climate Summit in Belém (Brazil) was marked by a invasion on Tuesday, the second day of the event.
The Brazilian Federal Police have already opened an investigation to investigate what happened in the invasion oracrida n Blue Zone from COP30.
The protest left a security guard injured and temporarily blocked the exit from the space. At the beginning of the evening, in the accreditation area, a group of protesters – who had participated in the Global Health and Climate March – tried force entry in the area controlled by the UN, describes .
United Nations agents tried to control the advance of the protesters, removing participants (who did not leave that area) and one of the security guards it was left injured in the face. One of doors access to the Blue Zone had to be closed after the confusion.

The “tyrant” and “stupid” politics
COP 30 is attended by several world leaders. But Donald Trump is not one of them.
The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, described the US president’s climate policy as “stupid” policy.
Trump is “temporary, reckless and chaotic,” Newsom described. “People need to stand up. It is necessary to oppose a tyrant“, quote or .
The governor of California believes that the Chinese are dominating global environmental issues: “The China is flooding the market and will dominate the next big global industry.”
The USA, in general, is acting “recklessly” on this issue, “but the state of California is not”, he assures: “We will maintain our position in Belém, Brazil, and compete in this field” – California will continue to promote green technologies.
Remember that Trump thinks that climate change does not exist, that it is a “hoax” – he already used that word in a speech at the UN itself, a few weeks ago: climate change is “the biggest hoax ever perpetrated against the world”.
Gavin Newsom, a staunch critic of Donald Trump, is expected to be a candidate for US president in 2028.
