The French government has decided to dissolve a climate activist group, following a series of fiery clashes between demonstrators and police
The decision to shut down Soulèvements de la Terre , an umbrella organization of climate activist groups, was taken by the French cabinet following a request by President Emmanuel Macron, government spokesperson Olivier Véran told journalists on Wednesday. The process to shut down the group started in March, after a protest in western France over proposed so-called “mega water basins” for farm irrigation led to violent clashes with police, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported.
“We see it as a call to set up a network of resistance, as a lever to help even more people join the next actions of Soulèvements de la Terre,” said the group in a press release shared with CNN. “The government claimed to make us disappear, but in reality we are becoming more and more visible,” the statement added.
