Since the last show of force against airport Notre-dame-des-Landes with the demonstration
of February 22 in Nantes, abandoning the project seems to much more credible and close.
Think after this victory possible, remembering to keep the pressure on power is
increasingly necessary. ---- The event on February 22, with 50 000 people, seems to have
considerably undermined the airport project which already had the lead in the wing. The
statements proa?roport of all kinds, Vinci and PS head, showing unfailing optimism in
achieving their productivist delirium no longer convincing to most. ---- Moreover, for
some time, it even seems rather they make low profile. Local media are regularly echo
reflections undoubtedly raise a certain smell of fir for the project. First there was the
announcement in April of the National Council for the Protection of Nature (CNPN)
expressing a negative opinion on the request made by the Prefect, a derogation for the
destruction of protected species what the vole.
Information and articulate resistance
June could also read in the newspaper Ouest France an article on possible compensation
Vinci in case of abandonment of the project! More generally, the indefinite freezing of
the project and its very vague future to make the population the idea of a more credible
victory and fatalism less appropriate. Some farmers have chosen there has long been
agreement with Vinci, rather than the denial of expropriation, have also felt them as well
as the wind turned in our favor. These former owners, who have sold their land therefore
Vinci dared return sow these lands which were in most cases recovered by farmers who made
the choice of resistance!
So this is certainly not the time to release the pressure but continue to articulate the
information battle, mind and strength on the ground. The latter is also always
appreciated. On 23 April, following rumors of deportation of a farm on the Zad, several
hundred individuals accompanied tractors held the barricades, the police are ultimately
never came.
5 and 6 July to hold the forum and the annual festival of Notre-Dame-des-Landes. The
opportunity to make a new demonstration of the popularity of our struggle, to strengthen
solidarity with struggles against other major projects but also unnecessary to address
important policy issues. How to continue the fight against the airport and his world if
they win? What then land? How to articulate reformist struggles and revolutionary
perspective? These are the questions that will be discussed in the capitalist and
libertarian libertarian village Alternative Nantes group will also present.
