Greta Thunberg was interrupted as she addressed a climate protest in Amsterdam on Sunday after inviting a Palestinian and an Afghan woman on stage.<\/p>\n

The Swedish activist was speaking to a crowd of tens of thousands in the Dutch capital before the country heads to the polls in a general election next week.<\/p>\n

“As a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Otherwise, there can be no climate justice without international solidarity.”<\/p>\n

After the Palestinian and Afghan women had come on stage and spoken, Ms Thunberg resumed her speech.<\/p>\n

But a man went on to the stage and told her: “I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view,” before he was ushered off.<\/p>\n

The man’s identity was not clear. He was wearing a jacket with the name of a group called Water Natuurlijk that has elected members in Dutch water boards.<\/p>\n

Ms Thunberg<\/strong> appeared to be wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh, a traditional black and white scarf.<\/p>\n

Earlier proceedings had been interrupted as a small group of activists at the front of the crowd waved Palestinian flags and chanted pro-Palestinian slogans.<\/p>\n

The interruption did not seem to phase Ms Thunberg, 20, as she was later seen dancing behind the stage as a band played.<\/p>\n

The speeches on stage were the culmination of a mass protest that saw tens of thousands of people march through the streets of Amsterdam, urging for more action to tackle climate change.<\/p>\n

Climate change is one of the key policy areas the political parties are fighting over in their election campaigns.<\/p>\n

Organisers claimed that 70,000 people took part in the march and called it the biggest climate protest in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Ms Thunberg was among those walking through the historic heart of the Dutch capital.<\/p>\n

Political leaders including former European Union climate chief Frans Timmermans, who now leads a centre-left, two-party bloc in the election campaign, later addressed the crowd in a square behind the landmark Rijksmuseum.<\/p>\n
