Overview
- The 52 detained members of the Confédération paysanne were released Thursday without judicial prosecution, the Paris prosecutor confirmed.
- The file was classified for lack of a sufficiently characterized offense after prosecutors reviewed surveillance footage and on-site observations.
- Authorities said only stickers were found and videos showed the group occupying an entrance and vestibule without committing violence or degradation.
- Roughly 100 farmers entered an Agriculture Ministry annex with a banner, and 52—among them three national spokespeople—were held overnight in several Paris police stations.
- Supporters from the CGT, Solidaires, environmental groups, and left-wing officials including Sandrine Rousseau gathered outside a Paris station, alleging harsher treatment than that of the FNSEA tractor demonstration.
