a man came onto the stage and told her: “I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view,” before he was ushered off the stage.

This seems like the way it always goes.

Anytime it’s something the person (any person) complaining doesn’t like, it’s exclaimed that it is “politics”, and shouldn’t be said.

One could argue that no one should be talking about climate change because it’s all politics and political, i.e. pertaining to making decisions in large groups, and distribution of resources.

This was probably said because, Greta gave the microphone to someone giving a speech about the Palestina Israeli war. And the were speeches about the Dutch housing crisis and racism, which are ofcourse important topics but not really relevante on the topic of climate change.

We were all ready to discuss the politics of climate and climate justice. A talk about the justice of support for countries in Africa dealing with natural disasters while they are responsible for less than 4% of emissions was very well received. The "politics" was someone asking to free palestine and telling us not to vote for the biggest green social party because they are not doing enough for oppressed people. I think we can rightfully say that was too off-topic for this march.
