Eco activists attack cement factory in France
A cement factory belonging to the Lafarge company in Bouc-Bel-Air, France, has reportedly suffered significant damage after a group of eco activists trashed the facility, citing air pollution concerns. According to French news broadcaster BFM TV, up to 200 people stormed the property late Saturday.
The attackers, who call themselves the ‘Action Lafarge’ group, reportedly used a number of methods to damage the factory, such as sabotaging incinerators, electrical systems and devices, cutting cables, spilling bags of cement, damaging vehicles and construction equipment, breaking windows and spraying graffiti.
