Protest group demonstrates against Paris 2024 Media Village construction Saturday, 30 January 2021
A group titled Saccage 2024 has opposed a new media village for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games by protesting at the construction site in Dugny.
The group, which translates as Ramage 2024, issued a statement earlier this week confirming a planned protest at the site. We are against this project, because this media village would be built on the Aire des Vents (Windy Area), a public green space classified as a Sensitive Natural Zone . An ecological corridor including a Classified Wooded Area , which is an integral part of the Courneuve Georges-Valbon departmental park, the third largest park in Ile-de-France, designated as Natura 2000 (the European Union s network of nature protection areas).
