An activist lighted a flare on stage during a TV festival in France.Footage shows a woman running down the stairs and climbing up the platform while holding a green smoke bomb at the closing ceremony of the Series Mania Festival in Lille on March 22.The female demonstrator was reportedly associated with the Riposte Alimentaire campaign.The woman, identified as Louane, wore a 'Riposte Alimentaire' t-shirt and said on the microphone: 'Our agricultural system is sentencing us.'She was swiftly escorted off the stage but reduced visibility inside the hall due to the smoke. Riposte Alimentaire said they are advocating for the establishment of a Sustainable Food Security system.They said the smoke bomb symbolised a distress signal and they used it to 'draw attention to the urgency of the situation'.It added that 'despite numerous scientific reports warning of impending crises, tangible actions to avert social and environmental catastrophes are conspicuously absent.'It said the impacts of climate change are already being felt globally with the World Meteorological Organization recently confirming that 2023 marked the hottest year on record, with temperatures surpassing expected thresholds by 1.45°C.It added that 'from Zambia to Pyrenees-Orientales, the repercussions of climate change are evident. Zambia's struggles with power shortages due to severe droughts highlight the disproportionate burden faced by developing nations.'Followers of the climate agenda have resorted to increasingly aggressive public attacks in recent years - often using violence and intimidation to cause chaos on roads, at events and in art galleries.
