Since October 16, enormous police resources are mobilized to evict activists squatting and
farm dedicated to the future airport Notre-Dame-des-Landes. ---- JM Ayrault did not
hesitate to grant the prefect important ways: CRS 600, 400 mobile guards, GIPN,
helicopter, backhoe loaders, excavators ... all at the expense of the taxpayer who pays
hotel accommodation in any of the cops region (between 500,000 and 1 million euros per
week). Tuesday 16 at 6:30 am, with great fanfare tear gas and intimidation of any kind,
the attack was launched against militants occupy and cultivate the area to defend (ZAD [ 1
]) of Notre-Dame-des-Landes so, according to the prefect, " neutralize all stays illegal
means . " About 150 200 people reside on the ZAD. Evictions have been anticipated, the
resistance was organized: barricades on the roads, occupations roofs and trees ... And
Nantes: daily demonstrations.
A huge area of ??lawlessness
Several squats were expelled or destroyed and reoccupied several other places can not be
deported before October 27. The coup police should continue to criminalize activists and
creating a huge area of lawlessness in the northern municipalities of Nantes
(Notre-Dame-des-Landes, Vigneux-de-Bretagne, Fay-de-Bretagne ...) where people must
undergo identity checks, interviews and searches of vehicles by 500 blue on site
permanently. There have been arrests, police custody, school buses no longer go everywhere ...
Everything is under police control. The State Service Vinci suspended most basic freedoms
such as freedom of movement and freedom to manifest one. The event of 20 October 1500 was
attended Nantes 2 000 people, many political organizations and trade unions (the Left
Party, NPA, Alternative, AL, CNT, Conf?d?ration Paysanne, Partners, Fase, ACIPA) and
elected [ 2 ] with an absence of telling which side of EELV in 2011, promised yet no
agreement with the government of PS would be signed without removing the project.
Expulsions ordered by Ayrault more involved in a struggle for housing - 300 people in the
street - which led to the occupation of the "unique place" cultural mecca Nantes. The PS
and Housing Minister Duflot, do not hesitate to expel additional 150 people before winter.
The prefect pays more luxury to the prosecutor about " some objectionable writings of
opponents calling for armed struggle and to intervene with violence in companies . " The
PS also attacks the freedom of expression. Faced with this coup, the resistance must
continue and organize to stop this catastrophic airport project! A manifestation of
reoccupation will be held on November 17 at the ZAD and collections are organized to help
the deportees.
