The action was claimed on its social profiles by the environmental group: "The 22-year-old Alizée took to the field during the Ruud-Cilic tennis semifinal to draw attention to the climate emergency and to the demands of the Last Renovation campaign".

Dernière Renovation, who apologized for the demonstrative gesture, explains: "We have 1028 days left to determine the future of humanity. Less than three years".

And again: “The countdown began on March 28, 2022, the end of the ultimatum sent by Last Renovation to the government and the date on which citizens entered civil resistance.

France has been condemned by its own courts for climate inertia.

The future of this country is literally destroyed.

Wasting time is dying ”.

A message from the young Alizee follows: "Today I entered the field because I can no longer run the risk of doing nothing. I have to act at the height of the emergency. 1028 days are all we have left to save our lives and that of our loved ones. from the worst climate disasters. Nobody gives a damn when we do climate marches, so this is where we chose to act ... We are in 2022 and it is time to face reality, the world that politicians send us to is a world where the Roland Garros can no longer exist ”.
