800 people destroyed a GM corn farm in Menville, France

20

years ago

25 July 2004,

800 people destroyed a GM corn farm in Menville, France. This is an initiative organized by the Faucheurs Volontaires group, in which disobedience activities were carried out. When the actions they justified with the figure of “situation of need” were judged. According to this principle, the infringement is legitimate if it responds to a present and imminent risk and the routes used are proportional.
