Earth uprisings: no dissolution for the environmentalist collective

The Council of State canceled the dissolution of the Earth Uprisings, considering that “no provocation to violence” could be attributed to the environmentalist collective.
Earth Uprising activists celebrated their victory in front of the Council of State. Thursday, November 9, 2023, the highest administrative court annulled the dissolution of the environmentalist collective, finding that “no provocation of violence against people can be attributed to the Earth Uprisings”. And to recall that a measure of dissolution “seriously undermines freedom of association“, described as a “fundamental principle recognized by the laws of the Republic“, indicates the Council of State.
An announcement that goes against the grain from Gérald Darmanin
This decision is a real snub for Gérald Darmanin. The Minister of the Interior announced that he would initiate a procedure to dissolve the Earth Uprisings on March 28, 2023 in the National Assembly. His statement came a few days after the violent clashes between the gendarmes and opponents of the Sainte-Soline water reservoirs (Deux-Sèvres). The executive has always attributed these excesses to the environmentalist collective.
