The community, which had filed a complaint, was to claim €8,200 from the activist tried on Tuesday in Nantes. Grégoire, a 42-year-old lawyer, was tried for having poured orange water-based paint in March 2023 in the Loire-Atlantique prefecture.
The latter claimed from the defendant, claiming to be part of the Dernier Rénovation collective (which became Riposte Alimentaire), a sum much lower than that initially envisaged. The environmentalist group supported and obtained that the community modify its constitution as a civil party by reducing its request to the symbolic euro instead of the 8,200 euros initially claimed. “It's an unacceptable concession made to political violence," said Renaissance municipal representative Erwan Huchet on X. 'He who damages must pay for repair,' writes the man who attended the Nantes demonstration during which market gardeners' greenhouses were damaged last summer.
