After blocking the A13 near Auteuil on June 29, environmental activist group Dernier Renovation set up in the afternoon at the Porte de Châtillon on Paris’s ring road, calling for a vote on the government.Global Energy Reform Act“.
“Let’s not let the government force us into the worst catastrophes of climate chaos. There is still time to join the civil resistance,” claimed Last Renovation on their Twitter account.
Activists wearing orange vests unfurled a poster on the ring road and sat on the road, blocking the passage of cars. Angry motorists tried to dislodge the attackers, and the police, particularly the Violent Action Suppression Brigade (BRAV), intervened to evacuate them.
Among the activists was a young girl named Alize, who became famous by interrupting a Roland Garros tennis match. Since then, the group has multiplied roadblocking activities, particularly by sticking hands to the ground with glue. The Last Renovation, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, is calling on the government to “commits immediately to ensuring a comprehensive and efficient renovation of the French housing stock by 2040 and to develop a simple and progressive financing system that will be responsible for the most modest owners.“.
