Climate Action Sarkozy & Merkel in Paris

Greenpeace activists parody French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany¹s Chancellor Angela Merkel as bride and groom on the Champs Elysée in Paris.
The wedding parody is to highlight the danger of the Franco-German partnership resulting in weak regulations to tackle climate change and benefiting the German car industry that is both influential and dirty.
Greenpeace argues that to fight climate change, the European Union must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the transport sector.
