Rivers have Rights @windrushwasp.bsky.social
The Paris mayor, Anne Hidalgo, has organised a fake trial to establish whether the river Seine could have legal rights. The Jury decided it should.
Now citizens' assemblies will be held monthly until June 25 “to bring to the legislature the draft law that could recognise the rights of the Seine”.
