The door of the home of the environmental activist Claire Nouvian Vandalized – Liberation

On the video she posted on Instagram, we hear her daughter’s frightened crying. During the night of Tuesday, June 4 to Wednesday, June 5, the door of the home of The environmental activist Claire Nouvian was sprayed with black paint. An act of vandalism for which The founder of the NGO Defense of the Oceans Bloom filed a complaint in the evening. With Libertyit denounces an action by industrial fishing lobbies, five days from the United Nations Conference on the Ocean.

How did you discover the degradation of your door?

Starting in college this morning, my daughter opened our door and discovered that she had been smeared with black paint splashes. My address is not public, there is not my name on my building or on my floor. To get there, two digipass had to be crossed. It now creates absolute anxiety. Whenever we go back, we will know that those who did it have the codes. Obviously, they can go home, they can smash everything, they can come to kill us in our bed.

You accuse the lobbies of industrial fishing. For what ?

In addition to splashes on the door, there was a paper that said « Dirty Bloom ». It is an attack on the lobbies of the industrial fishing that senators also saw appear in their mailboxes on Monday. It is linked to the same defamation and harassment campaign. These lobbies create false accounts on networks, false sites full of defamatory accusations mounted from scratch. But this time, a new line has been crossed. I think that we see there, by their actions, their physical attacks, their ability to continue us even in our offices and – now – with us that we are dealing with professionals who are organized on crime networks.

Why did they target you?

Bloom puts two large industrial peaches in difficulty: trawling and tuna peaches. To start, our NGO revealed that 100 % of tuna boxes were contaminated with mercury. They have lost money and they want our death. On the other hand, we are shaking The creation of truly protected marine areas By prohibiting all destructive fishing methods. This would only open fishing to small craft fishermen and it would sign the end of industrial trawling. Finally, we ask for the exclusion of the coastal strip of the 3 % of ships in the French fleet making more than 25 meters. These are the same 3 % that capture half of the fish.

Have you filed a complaint?

I filed a complaint in the evening. Now, I am waiting for magistrates a great responsiveness to seize this case and open an investigation quickly. Also, I ask policies to make an alliance with citizens and to stop being mistaken by associating with industrial lobbies. They are not only destructive of the natural world, climate, general interest and public finances. They are also destructive of democratic space. You have to choose your camp.
