Amazement, this Thursday morning, for users of Vélib’parisiens. And even for pedestrians, some of whom have not missed the poster posted on a large part of the self-service bicycles in the capital. At the back of these two-wheelers, a collective stuck an anti-abortion message overnight. “And if you had let him live?” is it written, with the drawing of a growing fetus, then becoming a baby and finally… a happy cyclist.
An act that did not fail to react. “The collage is very well done, one might think of a normal advertisement, but in the end it is a scandalous message. It disgusts me. I did not see him. It makes me want to get off my Vélib’,” says Claire, who crossed paths in the 15th arrondissement.
Behind this action, obviously, “The Survivors”. A pro-life collective which communicated on its website to explain its gesture. “Let’s give every unborn child a chance to be happy: faced with the complexity of a situation, let’s tackle the determinisms. Let him try the adventure of life! Young people revolted in the face of the suffering and injustice caused by abortion, the Survivors will not be silent,” write its representatives.
A complaint will be filed
Who add, further on: “Every life is worth living. At a time when a bill aims to enshrine abortion in the Constitution, the Survivors have decided to act on behalf of all those who are missing. We will not tolerate a dichotomous supreme norm where abortion, like the right to life, would become a fundamental right. »
The Survivors were born a little less than ten years ago now, in 2016. Its members are used to communication shots, which they master perfectly. They are often said to be close to the extreme right, which they always defend against.
Their action is obviously not to the taste of the management of Vélib’. “The Syndicat Autolib Vélib Métropole and Smovengo (SAVM), the Velib’ provider, condemn in the strongest terms the uncontrolled installation of stickers on the Velib’ vehicles that took place during the night of Wednesday May 24 to Thursday May 25, 2023. This poster campaign n ‘has never been authorized,’ denounces the company on its Twitter account.
“Advertising of any kind is strictly prohibited on public service bicycles deployed in the Greater Paris Metropolis. The SAVM and Vélib’Métropole will take any necessary legal action. Given the number of bicycles and their circulation, we invite the community of users who wish to do so to remove the stickers they find on their bicycles. “A complaint will be filed.
