CV NEWS FEED // A religious rights activist group is filing suit against the French gendarme, attorney general, and President Emmanuel Macron after one of its vehicles protesting the Olympic opening ceremony was seized.
Ignacio Arsuaga, founder and president of CitizenGo, a network of activists who fight against progressive agenda in the public sphere, announced in an Aug. 6 post on X that a French prosecutor had ordered the gendarmes to seize one of the organization’s buses, which had been protesting the Olympic Last Supper drag show.
According to Arsuga, six members of the organization were also “handcuffed, arrested, and spent the night in a cell without access to water.”
“Our lawyer tells us there is no case, and that the prosecutor ordered the gendarmerie to arrest the campaigners even though there was no case,” he continued, noting the organization’s plans to file suit.
“Woke governments are becoming increasingly totalitarian,” he concluded: “we will continue to denounce this.”
CitizenGo launched a petition following the controversial Paris opening ceremony, calling on others to stand up against the Olympic Committee for allowing the ceremony to take place.
“This was a deliberate and vicious parody humiliating our most cherished beliefs as Christians—they know we are an easy target,” the petition reads: “And until we stop them, they will keep doing it. This is about standing up for our faith and ensuring that such blatant profanity is never repeated.”
The organization states on its website that it works “to defend and promote life, family, and liberty.”
