"The sponsor is known", but it is the operatives that the police trace. The soldiers of the Lot confirmed on Wednesday that they are investigating the curious green circles tagged on "roads, engineering structures and buildings".

The phenomenon appeared in the west of France last week, it has since spread to Corrèze, Dordogne, Aveyron, Gaillac in Tarn. Other investigations are also opened in other departments for "damage by inscriptions, signs or drawings" following complaints filed by communities or individuals.

A conspirator behind these drawings

And if the authors of the tags are actively sought, the mystery seems to be solved on the man who raised these big green peas. The initiative comes from Eric-Régis Fiorile, who presents himself as the leader of the group called "National Council of Transition" and launched his call on Facebook on June 27, the aim being to establish "the sovereignty of the of peoples over politicians. "

This man, considered close to conspiratorial circles and has already invited the French to "march peacefully on the Elysee" on July 14, 2015, presents himself as the inventor of "Demosophy", a model of anti-oligarchy society. He calls in particular those who are "fed up with mierdas" or "fed up with confinement" to draw the famous green circles.

But supporters of the cause risk a fine of up to 3,750 euros in fines (article 322-1 of the Penal Code) if they are pinched bomb or brush in hand.
