PARIS – The French government said Tuesday that it would shut down an activist climate group over a series of recent demonstrations, including one that led to fierce clashes with police over a controversial irrigation project.
SLT denounced “a very political and extremely worrying dissolution that was demanded from the head of state by the agriculture industry and the FNSEA” farmers’ union. Dr Veran said SLT “whipped up violence at Sainte Soline by inviting rioters, who came from across Europe with metal bars and petanque balls to try and kill police officers”.SLT is a coalition of several activist associations, which was also behind a recent protest against a sand quarry in western France where protesters tore up fields and equipment at a farm.
On Tuesday, prosecutors also said they had detained 14 people for questioning over vandalism at a protest supported by SLT against a Lafarge cement plant near the southern city of Marseille.Climate activists hurl pea soup at Van Gogh in RomeThe dissolution procedure for SLT was launched just after the Sainte-Soline clashes by Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin, using powers that have been previously used to outlaw far-right and Islamist groups.
Some of the demonstrators have vandalised buildings and street furniture or thrown rocks at riot police.
