Members of Extinction Rebellion dressed as clowns gathered on Saturday March 23 in front of the TotalEnergies refinery in Gonfreville-l’Orcher, near Le Havre, in Seine-Maritime, to mime a “birthday snack” on the occasion of the 100 years of the oil group, reports France Bleu Normandie.
“Finish your crimes and your clowning”, was written on a banner hung in front of the factory entrance. These activists, dressed as clowns, had brought a large cake, which they cut up, before symbolically offering the largest share to TotalEnergies.
Another action in Donges, in Loire-Atlantique
Earlier, late Saturday morning, around sixty activists from the association, also disguised as clowns, were inside the TotalEnergies refinery in Donges, near Saint-Nazaire, in Loire-Atlantique, to denounce the ” clowneries” of the giant preroller. Extinction Rebellion is opposed to all the fossil fuel projects of the French oil group, which celebrates 100 years of its creation on Sunday.
