Hectic days ahead for Frédérique Perler. Monday, a few minutes after the start of the City Council, the RTS revealed that the administrative adviser was aware of the action of uprooting concrete with a jackhammer orchestrated by a dozen activists in Pâquis last week. A punchy operation aimed at raising awareness of the urgency of strong measures in terms of revegetation, but illegal, and against which the Administrative Council of the City of Geneva has announced that it will file a complaint.

“The environmentalist magistrate was made aware of the illicit action before it took place”, reported the RTS in its program “Forum”, adding that “multiple contacts took place in the two weeks which preceded the operation, oral but also face-to-face contacts” between the organizing associations and the Department of Planning, Constructions and Mobility (DACM) of Frédérique Perler. Information confirmed by several sources at the “Tribune de Genève”.
