Visible on France 2 on January 26 (9:10 p.m.), "Multinationals dress in green" focuses, among other things, on the Total-Energies oil megaproject in Uganda.


Uganda?

A natural paradise crossed by lions and chimpanzees, embellished by eucalyptus and frangipani trees, and soon perforated by… four hundred oil wells.

Total-Energies is preparing, with the blessing of the president in place who knows the windfall he will represent for his country, the exploitation of a

“scandalous”

megaproject , according to MEP Pierre Larrouturou.

On site,

Élise Lucet

's team deplores the human rights consequences of this drilling - critics have been imprisoned.

As well as the consequences on the fauna of an important natural park.

The animals now come across backhoe loaders there.

Back in France, journalists are interested in another large group, which happens to be one of the main lenders of Total-Energies.

They knock on the door of BNP Paribas.

The

“green”

and supposedly virtuous investments offered by the bank to its customers leave them doubtful.

That's an understatement.

A manager, whom the France 2 team ends up meeting, swears that the company is doing its best.

Its maximum, at least.

The discussion spins around.

What do we remember?

That financial logic does not necessarily favor the fight against global warming...
