Olivier Véran confirms the dissolution of the Uprisings of the Earth

“The climatic cause does not justify going to stone the gendarmes on a field”. Government spokesman Olivier Véran confirmed on Tuesday June 20 the forthcoming dissolution of the environmental association Les Uprisings of the Earth (SLT).

This dissolution will take place at the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, according to information from France Télévisions. “We do not dissolve an association based on its ideas, we dissolve it because there are abuses or the endangerment of public security, this is the case here”said Olivier Véran.

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin initiated this dissolution procedure on March 28, a few days after the violent clashes in Sainte-Soline (Deux-Sèvres). Remained blocked for more than two months, the procedure moved last week, after the deterioration in particular of a vegetable farm in Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu (Loire-Atlantique) during a traveling demonstration against the exploitation sand for industrial purposes in Saint-Colomban, at the request of SLT in particular.
