Under the motto: “No more deaths from exposure to radioactivity. No to climate change”, the festival is attended by “various parts of the globe, especially Europe”, such as Belgium and Spain, and America, namely from Brazil, “the country from which the festival originated, and where it maintains the organization, and which have already taken over the holding of the event in the region in 2020”.
