A year after Sainte-Soline, anti-megabasins organize “commemorative actions” and will file a complaint against Darmanin. On March 25, 2023, a gathering was improvised around a reserve under construction protected by more than 3,000 gendarmes.
According to the organizers, 30,000 people took part, 6,000 to 8,000 according to the authorities. Violent clashes broke out, leaving many injured, including two demonstrators who fell into a coma.
