The article of Le Journal du Dimanche gives the keys to understanding the march of the potretes in Baiona by responding to the G7 summit this Sunday. The ANV-COP 21 movement launched last February an appeal to withdraw Macron’s portraits of public buildings, accusing the president of the rematch against climate change of saying one thing and doing the other. The aim was to obtain 125 portraits for the G7, which is the number of days the French State has taken to exceed the limit of its annual ecological footprint set by COP21. They have crossed the target, since with the poster of August 23 in Irisarri 128 portraits have been taken from the houses of the people, eleven of them in Euskal Herria.

Macron sees the environmental reality

During these months, portraits taken from the village houses have appeared in very significant places. For example, on the glaciers in the Arve Valley, the most polluted in France: "We wanted to show the president that urgency is real," said activist Michel Piquand to Le Journal du dimer on his Twitter account. In the Orleans area, Franzeska Bindé took the portrait to a construction site to show "a naive concrete project." In Beaujolais, Anne-Sophie Trujillo Gauchez led the president to the demonstration against pesticides. One of the portraits that Bizi! showed in the Rock of the Virgin of Biarritz on August 20, it was:

Risk of being convicted of theft

Five Bizi activists! They were arrested in May for taking a photo of Macron from four village houses, and after being interrogated by the police and refusing to make statements they were released. These entrepreneurs can be punished with fines of up to 75,000 euros.

The trial of Franzeska Bindé, referred to in this article, will be held on 13 September and Michel Piquand may be sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of EUR 75,000, on 17 October. Anne-Sophie Trujillo Gauchez is also on the bench, and a 10-year prison sentence and a fine of 150,000 euros is at stake: "I'm convinced of what I'm doing, I know I'm directly in the justice party," he told Jurnal du Dimanchen. Piquand thus explained his position: "I knew what the risks were to do it, but if I do, I do it for the future -- we all have our life, our work, our needs -- but the need to breathe in the Arve Valley is really serious." So far, the ANV-COP21 movement has received 17 complaints against its 57 activists and more than 900 hours in detention.
