French activists have waved stolen portraits of President Emmanuel Macron at a protest to try to push France to do more to fight climate change.
The young activist spoke at the climate strike in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The activists brought the portraits to Sunday's protest — carrying them upside down to show what they consider Macron's hypocrisy — to call for bolder government action at the U.N. COP25 climate talks currently underway in Madrid. Activists are notably angry that France has lagged on its international commitments to increase use of solar and wind energy and reduce emissions. France remains well behind its European neighbors in its use of renewable energy.
