Several demonstrations were held on Saturday March 12 in France. Activists want the climate issue to become central to the presidential debate.
Whether in Besançon (Doubs), Rouen (Seine-Maritime), Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) or Lille (Nord), demonstrators gathered in the street, Saturday March 12, with a desire: to bring the climate into priority in the presidential debate. “I think there is fire. If we don’t put out the fire very quickly, it will be really very, very unfortunate for our grandchildren in particular.“, warns a demonstrator in Lille.
Several candidates for the 2022 presidential election also came to protest. Yannick Jadot, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Anne Hidalgo each assured that they had the greenest program. The Greens are struggling for the moment to exist in the countryside, in particular because of world news. The war in Ukraine is “the question that the French have in mind today and which leads to the relegation of the question of global warming, alas, to the store of accessories“, analyzes political scientist Pascal Perrineau. Other demonstrations for the defense of the environment are planned by the end of March.
