Continue “to disrupt the normal functioning of the country”
The highway was paralyzed while the day was classified red by Bison Futé in the direction of departures. The group of pro-climate activists Last renovation claimed the action by press release.
“Last renovation has been asking the government for several months to submit a concrete bill in favor of the thermal energy renovation of buildings”, writes the organization.
“In a context of an exceptional heat wave which testifies to the already existing effects of climate change, we will continue to disrupt the normal functioning of the country, its infrastructures and its sports competitions”, said Sasha, spokesperson for the campaign and quoted in the press release.
