“It’s false”: the Earth Uprisings claim that the Élysée did consider inviting them to a debate

The proposal for a major debate at the Agricultural Show, ultimately aborted following the controversies, continues to cause a stir. After the controversy aroused by the mention of the participation of the Earth Uprisings in this debate (according to information transmitted by advisors from the Élysée to the press), Emmanuel Macron angrily defended himself against journalists on Saturday morning .

“I completely deny this information,” declared the head of state. Totally. I never thought of initiating such an invitation. And you are talking to the President of the Republic who has taken on the responsibility of having the dissolution of the Earth Uprising passed through the Council of Ministers,” the French president declared to journalists. The Council of State finally annulled the decision to dissolve the movement. “This whole story made me angry to a point that you cannot imagine (...) So that’s nonsense,” he nevertheless added.

But on Saturday afternoon, the Earth Uprisings retorted that “it’s false”: according to the movement, the Élysée did indeed consider inviting them to this debate.

“The Élysée, through the offices of Pascal Canfin and Gabriel Attal, sought to contact members of the Uprisings of the Earth in order to invite us to this debate. Indeed, on Thursday February 22, from 6 p.m., an EELV MEP confirmed having transmitted the telephone number of one of our spokespersons to the office of Pascal Canfin (RE), who was in charge of liaising with the Élysée to invite us to this great debate” specifies the movement.

Who adds: “Members of the Gabriel Attal cabinet contacted a national political manager of EELV, in order to find a contact with the Earth Uprisings. This is in line with the announcements from the Élysée concerning our invitation, during the press conference on Thursday February 22.”

The Earth Uprisings further specify in their press release that they would not have participated in this debate in any case: “we would never have indulged in such a charade which has no other objective than to extinguish the agricultural rebellion in progress.
