Network Nuclear Phaseout, despite encouraging signs, is reduced by internal problems and
strategic direction, while the front antinuclear would need all his strength to meet the
current challenges. ---- The annual general meeting of the Network was held on 19 and 20
January last to Reims, in a demanding than ever antinuclear mobilization of troops.
Fukushima disaster still ongoing, development of EPR, multiplication and intensification
of ecological struggles, participation of Europe Ecologie Les Verts (EELV) a government
commitments to environmental completely hollow. These are all fronts that require action
strategy and guidelines clear and ambitious. Unfortunately, we are still far in the
network. The analysis of the socio-political context was completely absent from the
debate, including the thorny issue of the participation of the government in EELV pro-nuclear.
Prospects for network actions remain unclear and rather nice ( human chain, lobbying ),
whereas repression against ecological struggles intensified.
renew the network
Even the slogans Network sometimes hollow sound, as its appeal to the human chain on 9
March, revolving around the "energy transition now" and "stopping the civil and military
nuclear" without temporal precision.
Three years after the start of the crisis network , internal divisions (political and
personal) always seem to block the operation of this tool Libertarian Alternative has
often stressed the importance. However, we can welcome the growing recognition by the
General Assembly of the structural problems of the network (centralization,
professionalization, personalization) that prevent its development and maintain a climate
very productive. To initiate a response, the AG has initiated the construction of the
regionalization of the network, even if the terms are still rather vague.
The watchwords should also specify in the future, since the AG has decided to amend the
charter of the network to incorporate the demand for " immediate decision output for
urgent civilian and military nuclear . " These positive elements that give hope the
network can be on the road to recovery - albeit slowly - the strike force and mobilization
should be hers.
Fortunately, the network is not in itself anti-nuclear struggle. More than 900 groups that
compose it do not expect to carry out their shares, which number in the hundreds each
year. And groups who decide to leave the network do not abandon the fight so far, and do
not hesitate to create new structures to coordinate their collective actions, such as
antinuclear young Federation (FAN) which mobilizes around Britain of words order and more
radical practices. Hopefully the antinuclear movement as a whole converge in this sense,
to tip the balance of power in our favor.
