"Gauls resistant to change... of climate!"
"Let's not wait for them [...] And plant a garden-forest"
"Ecology and capitalism ARE NOT compatible"
"Macron, grow some balls!"
"National Assembly"
"Future in danger"
Hi everyone, I'm in front of the National Assembly
where around 50 people are gathered,
following a group call on social media,
to demand Emmanuel Macron's resignation.
Let's see how it's going. Follow me!
If you want to recruit people on the street, at cafes...
Because, sure, you came, we assembled,
but still, there are more policemen than protestors.
We look a bit stupid!
"The party of no sides"
So tell me, what is this party?
This party represents everyone who is against the current system,
who express their exasperation,
who believe that they're being robbed, spoliated, swindled
by politicians who are controlled by bankers.
All the people who work their ass off everyday,
yet are broke on the 2nd of every month!
Shortly, this entire minority
that they're trying to crush, like: "No, no,
"there's no social discontent, all is well,
"things are fine in France", etc.
Bullshit! People are doing extremely poorly.
They're sick of it all, and we're asking them to mobilize today,
because there's an article, Article 68 of the Constitution,
which serves to dismiss the current president.
One thing people openly admitted to us,
citizens we met,
is that they don't give a f... about politics. There.
They don't give a rat's ass.
"The politicians take care of the politics",
which is why it became a profession.
In a way, I think people aren't poor enough.
They're not suffering enough.
And it'll come.
They're satisfied with their little indulgences,
the minimum, breadcrumbs, that's it.
And after that, well... — What is needed to wake them up?
Taking away their cellphones!
It's not even the food, it's the cellphones...
Right now, we're here to support Sylvain.
because we both think
that Mr. Macron should resign. Period.
And our aspiration is to turn to participatory democracy.
Are you for a violent revolution or not?
It depends. I'm completely pacifistic, for now.
If violence does occur, if they violently attack us,
we'll be violent, that's for sure.
We'll defend ourselves, we won't be taken advantage of.
People on social media naturally exclude themselves from the revolt.
They call for revolt and unity,
but they don't want to partake in it.
— Kind of like a show. — That's right.
And they hope that people will do for them
what they should be doing.
It's preposterous.
I mean, if one doesn't partake in a revolt,
it's preposterous...
It's starting to work.
Slowly, but it's starting to work.
We don't yell at each other as much...
— Yeah. — And we agree more and more.
I... I share...
I share a ton of videos,
or even personal phone calls,
with guys who are at odds with what I think
on the form or on the details,
but on the substance we agree to say: "No no,
"this man and his group of associates must go."
He already has blood on his hands with all the terrorism going on in Syria.
Some were injured from the missiles he sent there,
last July in Syria.
He sold off our interests, he sold our national interest to the US...
That guy is not fit to govern, plus he insults us on a daily basis.
So, if we want a shot at expelling the oligarchy,
we need to push first domino: the head of state.
This guy was put here by the media
and his mandate is completely usurped.
We must kick him out.
It's the best chance we'll have to expel
the rest of the oligarchy, do a good cleansing,
and put in place a transitional government.
Many are marching for climate,
but to unseat Macron, nobody. Well, we're here.
It seems the information didn't spread, as always.
— Ok. — So...
Despite social media? People do not--
Despite social media, well anyways
nothing that's not on TV is not true, so...
since we're not on TV, we're not real, we're the bad guys...
You have to film that!
Because we're so violent that the police are going away...
Resign, Macron! Resign, Macron!
Resign, Macron! Resign, Macron!
This guy thinks he's Jupiter, this guy thinks he's a monarch!
And this guy has totally gone astray
by a use of force and institutions which qualifies as rogue!
Today, France is no longer a republic.
It's a mix of dictatorship and corrupt 'banana republic'!
So, the marchers are heading to the Senate.
And we're going to the Hôtel de Ville,
where there's protest on climate.
Let's go.
So we're almost on the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville.
It's our second protest today, let's do it!
On climate.
Now that's another sociological profile...
There really is a lot of people, that's for sure.
"The Earth's resources don't belong to us"
The climate brings together more people than Macron's resignation.
— That's "the date", it was in August... — "Of non-return"!
— That we passed... — It's the... "point of no return".
It has a name. It's "the something date"...
Basically, from this moment on, um...
we exhausted all the resources we should've used this year.
So we're using the following years' resources.
And then there's always a lag!
Whereas you have countries like Ethiopia, Erithrea,
which, in a year, don't even consume 50% of, um...
of what we consume, compared to "their planet" of resources.
What's messed up is that-- — What's strange is that we say
"their planet", it's the terms we use,
but it's not the right terms.
We're all on the same planet, and...
Yes, we use up resources, people take
resources which others could use, and...
it's just Western countries taking the South's wealth, and, um...
It's basically nonsense, it's our fault,
not the fault of those robbed of their resources!
It's our problem, and...
They don't have to endure what we forced them to endure.
So taking it to the streets is kinda like saying, um...
Something like, um... "Shit", in a way, sorry.
— So, shit to who? — Well, shit to...
Shit to what they're offering us,
shit to...
I'm not going to play the "fuck society" card and all that.
We're in a system where... kinda, um...
we, um, clearly don't care about the environment...
Minister Hulot talked about it, and so on. And um...
I dunno! Shit to... shit um...
to large... consumer societies, um...
to... I mean... energy-intensive corporations in general,
which respect nothing...
We think that just because the TV said
that there's a problem with whales or whatnot,
it'll work itself out, for we're aware of it.
On the contrary! It's when we know that we're no longer resolving problems.
Because we always think the other will react.
Here, we're all manifesting, we all agree on climate.
But in two hours, everyone at home will plug their smartphone in...
turn on hot water, have a bath, so it's true that...
Meh...
Marching doesn't do anything; we all need to contribute daily.
If we don't try to change anything, this march will be useless.
Every supporter of this march must
um... act.
As for you, do you have alternative consumption patterns?
Well, I've tried, yes, I started a while back...
Yeah, I conserve everything I buy...
And I try to be careful...
with everything I buy, everthing I consume...
We try to do-- If everyone tries to, um...
him or herself, in such a way that...
that the... the earth is clean,
there'll be a moment...
the climate won't have problems anymore.
"Change the system, not the climate", Hugo Chávez once said.
— Yeah. — OK, it's interesting.
We increasingly need to bike,
or we at least need equipment to diminish
the number of cars in Paris...
And finally do something
to shut down all Parisian traffic.
— Woah, ok. — That's my dream.
So how will workers go to work?
By using public transport, biking! They must move!
There are a lot of LGBT flags, though...
flags of political parties; the anticapitalists,
the communists, the socialists...
Although this protest was rooted in an initiative
on social media – a Facebook event someone made –
it was clearly exploited by...
by the classical proponents of environmental causes.
We can do what we want with the EU!
It's a union of citizens.
And then...
It's currently, um... headed by a liberal elite,
but that's not necessarily how it should be!
Behind the union of european citizens,
there's democracy and we can, um...
order things differently.
It's not necessarily of union of multinationals.
There's indeed a bit of a leverage effect
lobby-wise, unfortunately, which run the world.
Food lobbying, industrial lobbying,
nuclear, pharmaceutical...
Today, once again, because of the free-market,
we're capable of destroying everything,
and to put our planet and our future in danger.
So?
So let's change the system!
All together! — Ok...
Everything must change, it's true!
— So how do we do it? — Well, um...
We start by coming here, motivating people...
Get lost, motherfucking fascist! you don't belong here.
Get... Get lost, get lost.
— Why? — Get lost, get lost.
Get lost.
You don't belong here, piss off.
— Calm down. — You're not welcome here.
— Calm down. — Knock it off...
To conduct interviews in France,
you need to have a tear gas bomb.
Well, we're off to take the metro.
To see Sylvain Baron in front of the Senate.
Let's go.
Wow, there really aren't many people now.
What's the link between your movement, meaning what you did today,
and what we saw in front of the City Hall?
Where there were thousands of people,
over 5,000 guaranteed... — Yeah...
united under a single slogan: climate.
What do the people who marched for climate
– reducing ecological issues to climate –
expect from those who govern us?
I live in Guiana.
The Rights of Indigenous Peoples were ratified by the UN;
France is the only country to not respect them,
and collaterally, regarding the 'Montagne d'or' mine.
It is going to be the biggest open-pit mine in activity...
and it will take place in French Guiana.
On sacred aboriginal lands!
And it might be an ecological disaster
– that was proven – without precedent!
And it's been approved by Mr. Macron.
To wake the people up, you must try different formats,
different ways of doing things.
And I think that you do it yourself because it's beyond you.
It's not even a matter of bravery, it's not a matter...
of logic; it just makes sense.
Do you have hope that
France and its people will get back on their feet?
Of course. I'm here today because I'm hopeful.
Or else... — You aren't numerous, though.
— We aren't-- — Doesn't it demoralize you?
No! Because... we were 30 on July 28th.
Today we're 60.
Little by little, we manage to--
At least you're pro-growth somewhere!
There are things for which we want growth!
We manage to converge.
But it's true that it's very complicated
to mobilize people, and especially...
to endure it, morally.
Hope is needed!
Hope is, of course, needed.
Yes, it's obvious!
I'm here today... Yes, must think about the future,
a better world, you need to be hopeful anyways.
It's obvious. We can't live without it.
Without dreams, without hope.
It's unthinkable.
Thanks a lot, madam.

There are similarities
between the 1923-1929 era and the 2008-nowadays era.
Starting a revolution... in a legal framework,
does that make sense?
So you're holding a black cloud?
Europeanism is a nationalism like any other.
Would you with people who vote for nationalists?
Try to convince them about ecology.
They're taking pictures of us, so we've been spotted...
