des ong condamnent le traitement infligé aux représentants de communautés locales lors des ag des banques françaises
Summary
A group of NGOs, including Urgewald and Oxfam France, denounced the hostile environment at French banks' annual general meetings, where community representatives testifying on the impacts of oil and gas projects faced booing, racist comments, and security misconduct. The statement specifically highlights the BNP Paribas meeting on May 16, 2023, and calls for the bank's management to ensure respectful debate and issue apologies to the affected representatives.
Key insights
- Representatives of local communities, such as Goldman Environmental Prize winner Edwin Gariguez who opposes an LNG terminal in the Philippines, testified at French bank general meetings regarding the local economic, environmental, and social impacts of bank-supported oil and gas industries.
- During the BNP Paribas general meeting on May 16, 2023, speakers—including community representatives, NGO members, and scientists—were subjected to booing, racist comments from shareholders, and mistreatment by security personnel.
- The signatories argue that this aggression reflects growing tensions at the general meetings of large French companies when ecological and social issues are raised.
