While the Earth Uprisings movement was dissolved by the Council of Ministers in June, the Council of State has just announced the cancellation of this decision on Thursday, November 9. The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, initiated on March 28 the dissolution of the radical environmentalist movement, which he had accused of being “the origin of violent actions” during the demonstrations against the “mega-basins” which were held in March in Sainte-Soline (Deux-Sèvres).
The dissolution had already been suspended in August in summary proceedings by the Council of State, seized at the end of July, it becomes definitive with the decision rendered Thursday. “The Council of State considers that no provocation of violence against people can be attributed to the Earth Uprisings”justifies the institution in its press release.
“Not a suitable and necessary measure”
Furthermore, the Council of State judges that the activists “have indeed engaged in provocations of violent acts against property, which fall within the scope of 1° of article L. 212-1 of the internal security code”he “considers that the dissolution of the Earth Uprisings did not constitute an appropriate, necessary and proportionate measure to the seriousness of the disturbances likely to be caused to public order”.
The Earth Uprisings refer to themselves as a group of “rebellious young people”, who have “grew up with the ecological disaster in the background”, ‘peasan.nes’, of the “inhabitants in struggle attached to their territory”.
