In the afternoon, Mr. Jean-Marc Brule, Chairman of Asian Committee of French Green Party representing Mr. Noel Mamere, the President of the Green Party and Presidential Candidate, Ms. Dominique Voynet, Secretary of the Green Party and Former Minister of Environment Ministry, and all Green Party members, came to the Dafa practitioners' protest site and expressed the Green Party's firm and full support of Falun Gong.
After a practitioner read aloud an open letter, Mr. Brule delivered a long impromptu speech. He said, "The Jiang regime's most autocratic and brutal suppression of the most peaceful, serene and non-aggressive Falun Gong practitioners in China indicates that Jiang's regime will collapse soon." Regarding the criticism of a local Chinese news media that the Green Party is "anti-China," Mr. Brule emphasized that the Green Party does not oppose the broad and profound Chinese traditional culture but only the Jiang regime's persecution.
