And also with the total denial of a popular consultation, that for Notre-Dame-Des-Landes.

This referendum was decided from above, on a project supported by the government and already decided, but intended to help it out by creating a counter-fire vis-à-vis determined opponents; for this reason, its modalities: formulation of the question and definition of the population consulted have been carefully configured to elicit a positive response. As then the real reasons for this project became obsolete, this "democratic" masquerade no longer made sense and the abandonment of the project could then be used as a concession to the ecology whereas it did not testify to other than the decrease in the influence of Jean-Marc Ayrault to impose this technically useless extension ...
We must carefully be wary of what covers the words "popular" or "democratic" which is almost systematically instrumentalized in its opposite: look at North Korea or China as well as all past dictatorships ...


This is also true.

What in the procedure of the subject "referendum-RCI" must especially be wary and be VERY VIGILANT on the possible breakdown of voters (it may not have been ideal to NDDL) and of course the question asked.

The Affair of the Century Act II: 16 citizens testify to the impact of climate change in France

A year after launching a successful petition, accompanied by a lawsuit against the state for climate inaction, the four NGOs behind the Affair of the century take action II. The challenge is to create a map of the impacts of climate change in France through a call for testimonials. Nearly 16 people have already answered the call. A way to continue the mobilization without waiting for the court decision.

What if 2020 was the year of citizens? At the end of December 2018, four NGOs - Greenpeace, Oxfam, the Nicolas Hulot Foundation and the association Notre affaires à tous - launched an online petition against the French State for climate inaction. In a few days, it became the most popular in the history of France with more than two million signatories. Beyond this unprecedented mobilization, it was through the courts that the NGOs chose to attack the State.

They thus filed an appeal in March 2019 denouncing its "faulty action" in terms of reducing greenhouse gases and its "faulty deficiency". But the time for justice is not the time for politics. "There is a time lag that we had anticipated a little," recognizes Jean-François Julliard, director of Greenpeace France. "From the start, we said that the priority was to go as far as possible and win at the end, but must not stand idly by in the meantime," he adds.

Citizens become witnesses to the climate

In order not to diminish the hope aroused by the petition and the climate marches, the NGOs have just launched their act II. The associations invite all citizens to become "Climate Witnesses" by revealing the direct impacts of climate change on their lives. The objective is to create a map of these impacts, from heat waves to burnt crops and the disappearance of forests.
