MEP Manon Aubry Confronted by Shareholder at TotalEnergies General Assembly

The General Meeting of Shareholders of TotalEnergies opened this Friday in Paris, under pressure from climate activists, massed outside. Among them was the rebellious MEP Manon Aubry, who was taken to task by a man.

“You are paid to do nothing”, launched the man who came against him. “I have a mandate!”, replied the elected, to which the man retorted: “You, the European deputies, you are shit!”

“After being called a ‘parasite’ by a shareholder of Total, another yells at me ‘You are shit’. These shareholders are the image of their company which lives only for profit & despises everything else , trampling on the Planet & human rights”, was indignant in the wake of the elected official on Twitter.

TotalEnergies replied to Manon Aubry in a tweet: “TotalEnergies calls for calm and condemns all forms of violence, verbal or physical. We encourage exchange with mutual respect”, the group said.

TotalEnergies opened its annual general meeting of shareholders at 10 a.m. in a Parisian concert hall protected since the day before by security guards, barriers and police. At dawn, dozens of demonstrators tried to enter the stretch of street passing in front of the Salle Pleyel, in the beautiful districts of Paris.
