After Brest and Carhaix, it is on the BNP Paribas bank branch in Concarneau, located in the city center, avenue du Docteur Nicolas, that the ecological association Extinction Rebellion has targeted. This Thursday, around 1 a.m., four men attacked the front of the agency, smearing it with paint, fake oil. An action that lasted only a few seconds according to a witness. "Four men dressed in black suddenly came and threw paint bulbs at the front of the bank. They made some registrations and then left very quickly. When the police arrived on the scene, there was no one left. We did not have time to intervene and it is impossible to describe the men because their faces were not visible. »

On the front, some tags including the hourglass logo of the association and the inscription "STOP TOTAL" were stenciled. Posters were hastily pasted by activists. Through its actions, the collective denounces the bank's financial support for an oil extraction project by Total in Uganda.
A vehicle set on fire
In addition, a week ago, on the night of Thursday 4 to Friday 5 May, it was in the Cabellou district, facing the sea, that a vehicle registered in the Hauts-de-Seine was set on fire. An FLB (Front de Libération de la Bretagne) tag was discovered by investigators near the fire. The gate of the home was also degraded, much to the chagrin of its owner who was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of a car engine starting. A fire that cannot be explained by this woman of Brest origin, schooled in Concarneau during her youth and who, for professional reasons, had to leave Brittany. She owns a residence in Concarneau to which she returns regularly to see her family. This fire totally distraught her, as well as the other residents of the neighborhood who have shown their support.
Both investigations are underway at the Concarneau police station, after complaints were filed against X. Despite the damage, the bank branch welcomed its customers this morning. The ATM, which adjoins the bank, has not been damaged.
