Activists from the French branch of Friends of the Earth were demonstrating against the Black Friday sales, claiming it harms the planet. They dumped old fridges and microwaves on the road leading to the warehouse. Demonstrators also placed bales of hay on the road and lay prostrate on the ground, preventing any traffic from passing.
They held up banners, which read:”Amazon: For the climate, for jobs, stop expansion, stop over-production!”
The protestors were eventually rounded up by police, and the obstacles cleared.
However, more “Block Friday’ demonstrations are planned for Friday, that could see other Amazon facilities targeted and shut down.
In France there is a growing anger and opposition to the Black Friday phenomenon, which often sees frenzied crowds storming shops in search of bargains.
