Thirty activists from the environmental association Greenpeace foiled the security services and entered this morning shortly after 8 am inside the Total refinery at Gonfreville-l'Orcher (Seine-Maritime). square.
Six activists climbed onto the large tank located as close as possible to the road and adorned with the large logo of the refinery and deployed a large banner on which we can read: "Total invents sustainable destruction".
At the same time, 24 other activists climbed the two large chimneys of the refinery to hang two more banners on which are inscribed "climate crime" and "lasting destruction". "The purpose of this action is to denounce the role of Total in the exploitation of the hydrocarbons trapped in the tar sands of Canada", explains Yannick Rousselet, of Greenpeace.
