Marion Cotillard on Sunday gave her “absolute support” to the environmental movement of the Uprisings of the earth, dissolved by the government. “What is happening in our country is extremely serious,” wrote the French star, Oscar winner for The kid in 2008, on his account instagram.
“Those who warn of the eminently dangerous drift of our world and our humanity, the activists who demand government action commensurate with the urgency, are today qualified as criminals or eco-terrorists”, continues- She.
“Freedom is in danger”
“The security drift of this government, coupled with its inability to protect us from the consequences of climate change, is frightening. But these intimidations will not be able to silence us. Today, in our country, freedom is in danger,” she added.
The Uprisings of the Earth collective was dissolved on Wednesday in the Council of Ministers, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin invoking its “major role in the design, dissemination and legitimization of violent operating methods”.
Greta Thunberg supported the collective
This decision, which the Uprisings of the earth intend to contest, provoked a series of condemnations on the left and among defenders of fundamental freedoms. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, present in Paris on Wednesday, lent her support to the collective.
Several cultural personalities have already expressed their support in recent months for the Uprisings of the Earth, such as the actress Adèle Haenel, the filmmaker and activist Cyril Dion or the Nobel Prize for Literature Annie Ernaux.
