In the press release made by activists, it was stated that the blockade was made to "make visible that people are dying and being injured today as a result of climate disasters, wars and the unequal distribution of resources."

Greta Thunberg believes the blockade is due to a "planetary emergency." She believes that all countries have a responsibility for the climate, and so do elected politicians in Sweden.

"We see it as our democratic obligation as citizens of a democracy when elected officials act in ways that directly harm and put people's safety and lives at risk," Greta Thunberg said.

The activists' action continues.
