Anti-government demonstrators interrupted Israel’s Environmental Protection Minister, Idit Silman, on Tuesday at a climate conference in the southern city of Beersheba, forcing her to cut her remarks short.

With chants of “Shame,” “A corrupt government can’t help the climate” and “There is no climate without democracy,” protesters cut off Silman’s address and compared the government’s ability to combat climate change to the planned makeover of the judicial system.

The minister made an effort to calm things down by asking the audience to be quiet so she could speak, but she eventually gave up and cut her address short.

The event happened a day after around 90,000 people marched in Jerusalem against the government’s proposed overhaul of the legal system, claiming that it could endanger Israel’s democratic nature.

The Environmental Protection Ministry was taken over by Silman, a member of Likud, the political party of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the start of the year after the new administration was sworn in at the end of December.
