Examination of the Request for Suspension

The Council of State is currently examining a request for the suspension of the dissolution of the environmental group, Soulèvements de la Terre. In March, the government had announced its intention to dissolve the movement after violent clashes between police and protesters. The government accuses the group of inciting violence and actively participating in it. However, the group vehemently denies these allegations and argues that its dissolution infringes on freedom of expression and association.

The Legal Battle Begins

The Council of State will first examine an urgent request for suspension before later evaluating the legality of the dissolution. Not only have several associations and political parties opposed the government's decision, but hundreds of individuals have also joined the group in challenging it. This marks the first time that an ecological movement of this magnitude has faced dissolution, as nearly 150,000 people have publicly identified themselves as supporters of the group. The outcome of this legal battle will undoubtedly have significant implications for the future of environmental activism in France.
