About fifteen environmental activists from the “Dernière Rénovation” association blocked the Paris ring road for ten minutes and one from the A6 on Saturday, noted the franceinfo reporter on the spot. This Saturday, July 16 is classified as “red” by Bison Futé, which provides for “very difficult” traffic on all major French axes.

Sitting in the middle of this road, where the southern ring road rubs shoulders with the end of the A6, a motorway that connects the south-east of Paris to Lyon, via the Saône valley, they prevented traffic before being dislodged by the police, without any particular violence. Some were arrested, says the association on social networks.

Partly launched by former members of “Extinction Rebellion”, the movement has carried out a dozen blocking operations since the beginning of April. The last during the 10th stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday. The race was interrupted for ten minutes. In particular, they are calling for a massive investment plan in energy renovation by 2040.

“The government’s inaction leaves us no choice but to enter into civil resistance and sound the alarm to prevent crimes against our country, humanity and life on Earth.e”, wrote on Twitter the association, which already promises that it “will return to action, on the roads, every day.“
