Yesterday, Friday, July 26, the demonstrators decided to gather at Hong Kong airport. The arrival hall was full of pro-democracy activists. Halls A and B were stormed by an oil spill, the colour of the protesters’ t-shirts. It is a strategic place, as travellers from all over the world arrive here.
« Welcome to Hong Kong, a city controlled by police and thugs. » Through various slogans, they spread their message and promoted their desire for democracy in the archipelago.
« We are doing our best to let them know what is happening here, we hope that the world can see what is really happening in Hong Kong, because we are isolated. China says everything is fine, really everything is fine? »
For the first time, flight crews joined the movement by calling for the airport, their workplace, to be occupied.
In addition to the fear of gangs, there is also the threat of armed intervention.
Last Wednesday, the spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defence recalled that its army could be deployed in the streets of Hong Kong to maintain public order.
Such a decision should be taken by Chinese President Xi Jinping himself, in agreement with the Communist Party’s Political Bureau. »
