The prosecution appealed the release of two CGT activists suspected of having caused power cuts in Bordeaux during demonstrations against pension reform. In March 2023, voluntary cuts, partially claimed by the CGT Énergie, affected several thousand customers.

The two defendants refuted at the hearing that they were among the people who entered the electrical substation. The court found in particular that the presence of the two Enedis employees in the electrical room was not “demonstrated” and that no damage had been committed by the demonstrators.
