On Saturday afternoon, several dozen people occupied a site designated for a deep geothermal energy project in Glovelier. After a brief discussion with the police, they agreed to leave and departed shortly afterwards. The mostly masked demonstrators had come from a nearby makeshift campsite and broke through the fences. The local security service called the police, who arrived to find several dozen people inside the fenced area. The police began an investigation and the prosecutor's office was notified. The deep geothermal energy project in the Jura region is controversial, and earlier this month opponents set up a tent camp near the planned site.
