Five people were placed in police custody in Marseille Monday after participating in a "deconfilé" organized by the ecological organization Extinction Rébellion on the Canebière to protest against a return "to excessive consumption", we learned from consistent sources.
Monday morning, fifty activists walked along the Canebière, central artery of the second city of France, in the rain, singing on the air of "the caterpillar" and brandishing slogans like "Tell the Truth" “More money for hospitals, not for Bernard Arnault! (CEO of luxury group LVMH), Extinction Rebellion (XR) reported on Twitter.
Refusal to disperse
“Deconfiled action in progress: the caterpillar restarts !! Happy to find our former life: excessive advertising, excessive consumption fueled by the depletion of natural resources and the widening of social inequalities! "Tweeted XR Marseille again.
