On Friday evening, environmental activists dressed the statue of Marianne in a yellow vest.
A yellow vest over his gown. A green poster with an hourglass on a green background in his right hand, which is holding an olive branch – a symbol of peace. The Marianne of the Place de la République was (re) dressed on Friday evening by environmental activists. “Terre Debout – Lift up” can we read on the yellow vest, at the bottom of which we see the symbol of an environmentalist collective: “The uprisings of the earth”, which protests against the Grand Paris project.
In a tweet, he says: “Activists dressed Marianne with a yellow vest at Place de la République in Paris. Because the devastation of agricultural land by the #GrandParis echoes social precariousness, state violence against the people, the land and all living beingsAs for the other symbol, the hourglass on a green background, it seems to be that of Extinction Rebellion France, which is defined on Twitter as an “international movement of non-violent civil disobedience to operate a radical change to minimize the risk of ecological collapse “.
