Stop fossil gas! Let’s invite ourselves to Fluxys general assembly!
Join us on 9 May between 13-14h at Fluxys headquarters to let the shareholders of this gas giant know that the days of fossil gas and billion-dollar profits are over!
Do you already know Fluxys?

We say: stop! You too? Come to the Fluxys General Assembly on 9 May and make your voice heard. From 1pm to 2pm, when the board and shareholders arrive, we will gather in front of their headquarters to voice our opinions.
Also "Promote Ukraine" and the "Belgian Comittee of the European Network of Solidarity with Ukraine" come to testify about the devastating impact of the Russian war, co-funded by Fluxys. We will provide tasty vegan lunch and surprises to ensure atmosphere. So be sure to bring your protest sign with you!
