Many are worried about the future, like Isabelle, flag of Extinction Rebellion activists in hand: “The decade we are living through is crucial. The question is still the survival of the human species, so if that doesn’t move people…”

Nathalie wants to fight for her children “I worry about our planet, I want things to change, that we can see an improvement.”

Among the concerns of the demonstrators, the projects of concreting of the grounds like that of Boréalia, nearly 60 hectares west of Amiens. Hélène does not take off: “We are talking about climate change and we are concrete agricultural land… Emmanuel Macron and Barbara Pompili are from Amiens, they should defend their territory!”
