Complaint against J. Castex and others before the Cour de Justice de la République

On June 16, 2021, MEP Pierre Larrouturou along with activists Cyril Dion and Camille Etienne filed a complaint against J. Castex, French Prime Minister, B. Le Maire, Minister of Economy, B. Pompili, Minister of Ecological Transition, J.B Djebbari, Deputy Minister for Transport and E. Wargon, Deputy Minister for Housing.

The complaint against the ministers and their inaction against climate change was filed before the Cour de Justice de la République (Law Court of the Republic), which is competent to judge crimes or offenses committed by members of the government in the exercise of their duties. The complaint emphasizes the inadequacy of the Climate and Resilience Bill compared to the proposals of the Convention Citoyenne sur le Climat (Citizen's Convention on Climate).

The aim of the plaintiffs is to push the ministers to act before the final adoption of this law.
