Overview

• In the early hours of June 4, unknown individuals bypassed two security codes and sprayed black paint on Nouvian’s front door, terrifying her 14-year-old daughter.
• Nouvian attributed the attack to industrial fishing lobbies seeking to undermine Bloom’s push to prohibit bottom trawling in marine protected areas.
• She lodged a formal complaint at a Paris police station and urged authorities to launch an immediate investigation and provide protection for her family.
• Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and other public figures voiced their support, condemning the intimidation of the environmental activist.
• The vandalism follows a wider harassment campaign against Bloom, which has included defamation efforts online and an AI-generated song accusing Nouvian of lying.
