3/ In coordination with @marietouss1's office, we sent letters to the Ministers of Justice & of the Environment in Finland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Spain and Belgium, asking them to seize the opportunity to recognize & condemn the ecocide in the EU environmental crime directive.

March 22, Swedish government gave green light to British company Beowulf Mining to proceed with plans for an iron ore mine in Gallok, Sami territory in northern Sweden. Indigenous Sami have protested the project for nearly a decade.
The mining project with a planned open cast mine covering 100 hectares is threatening reindeer grazing grounds as well as the world heritage site #Laponia. It will cause permanent wounds in the landscape for a planned life span of just 14 years.
It has been massively criticized not just by the Sami villages and Sami parliament, but by environmental organisations, scientists, the Church of Sweden, regional authorities and UNESCO among others.
