Call to Civil Disobedience

American philosopher and poet Henri D. Thoreau first used the term civil disobedience in a text he wrote against the government in 1849. Civil disobedience has always guided human history at the most critical points, changed the course of history, and ultimately became the name of a form of action that was always against the law but was later cleared. Gandhi and Martin Luther King shaped history with their civil disobedience campaigns; Women sought their rights and blacks sought their equality through civil disobedience.
We met José Bové with the war he waged against multinational companies that spoil agricultural products with genetic interventions. In this book, together with Gilles Luneau, he tries to explain the stages of civil disobedience in world history and its importance today: The spirit of the laws; It exists by accepting the equality of everyone and the public interest as fundamental before the law. If personal or company interests begin to be accepted as the basis instead of the public interest, what can be done to make the law a tool that protects the public interest again? Organizing against injustice with a peaceful method... Civil disobedience, which Bové and Luneau discuss in detail in the book, is the name of taking action without resorting to violence for demands that the social conscience accepts as legitimate against what is legal.
