The nuclear industry is struggling globally since Fukushima. In France, the mining of
uranium at its disposal through plant construction, updating and control, everything is
open to criticism. And the challenge is building momentum. Meet at Flamanville October 1!
---- The different actors in the French nuclear industry through a bad period. Areva is
indeed at the heart of the storm with his trial on the incomprehensible awarding of a
depleted uranium deposit, but more recently with revelations about the defects in the
construction and validation of 128 pieces of business in reactors La France. ---- The
Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), to monitor the die, is compromised by asking relationships
based on trust with key players, Areva and EDF, which had rigged the old reports.
A project to 100 billion to sustain plants
EDF floundering on its side with its new EPR reactors in Finland and France (Flamanville),
and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Despite these failures, the company continues its mad
race by announcing the production of two new EPR England project that cost him the
resignation of two company directors. In the interest of sustainability of its forty park
sixty years, EDF has launched the "refit". A project of 100 billion euros very dangerous
in its implementation, as evidenced by the accident at the plant Paluel where a steam
generator fell during replacement. The piece weighing some 450 tons fell a few meters of
the fuel storage pool, and cracked the slab. And finally, landfill Bure is the culmination
of the failure of the industry, a project to distract waste, hide them, all in the
greatest illegality.
Finally, the headlong rush nuclear continues only by reasons of state. In the draft green
growth, nuclear power emits little carbon and thus become clean energy! Militarily,
deterrence is still an ever-present concept of homeland defense. Economically, the country
is a leader in this industry and can not afford to give up despite the failure of the model.
All in Flamanville
on 1 and 2 October 2016
to request stopping of nuclear power in France
For example of the bad faith of the State, the Fessenheim plant, to be closed during the
tenure of Holland, will be that from the time the EPR open. So no intention of reducing
the share of nuclear in the energy, especially as the old plant has a defective parts of
Areva, a steam generator. During this time EDF pushes for to upgrade and extend its life
for sixty years. Project expected to cost billions, not including the threat of major
refit. In light of this information the collective Stop Fessenheim pushing for reactor No.
2, which is currently closed for refueling, never reopened.
The project of the EPR Hincker Point in Britain EDF plunged into crisis.

The dispute also affects the construction of the EPR. The endless construction site is
dotted with defects such as concrete cast of evil containments or the reactor lid that is
substandard. Add to this the illegal working conditions that were revealed for 450 workers
who live in unsanitary camp, and timetables which exceed the statutory working time. In
all, the site will cost four times more than originally planned, and its completion is
uncertain. The PRT also the problem of being a very powerful reactor, its production will
be directed towards international sales.
As a sign of surrender to the enormity of waste, the state is trying to build the well
Bure to bury all this at 500 meters deep, beautiful funeral for pollution that will last
tens of thousands of years. ANDRA (National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management),
which manages the project has almost unlimited means to corrupt politicians and the
public, after twenty years the project is now entering its final phase. Relying on a low
capacity for mobilization at the local level (seven inhabitants per km2), Andra was
imposed without taking basic precautions such as building permits. No more than it is
moved by the challenge against the chosen site. As the rebellion shows even more scathing
she became national.
Occupation and zadification
The fight is also rooted in the territory, the wood Lejuc site is to host the well is now
considered a "common" for the benefit of people who share the farmers, residents,
naturalists joined the resistance antinuclear. The occupation of wood by activists
followed by deportation, then an attempted reoccupation against militias Andra lays the
foundation for a very hard conflict. At the time this article is written, the local high
court to suspended further work on site. The 6 hectares of forest that have been cleared
and the kilometer concrete wall that was built should become legal in six months. Despite
the court decision, Andra continues work.
Landfill well Bure: a symbol of capitulation of the state before the insoluble problem of
nuclear waste.
DC Alex Hesse
The galaxy of associations that mobilize against nuclear basically through a technical
argument on the technological risk, or a local populations refusal affected by the
projects. The state's argument holds water through the use of financial resources and
strength. From a global perspective, the prospect of a better future is largely undermined
by the promise of the state of green growth that would allow the capital to continue its
course by recycling his speech.
It is therefore necessary that a libertarian discourse and action developed through these
struggles. The use of alternative energy or lack of use can be achieved through control of
the affected populations who produce in accordance with their needs, and not in a logic of
accumulation and consumption. Thus, unions are beginning to doubt the feasibility of an
EPR or security might be willing to say that nuclear power is not a solution. In another
approach, where unions are absent, it is the local struggle that prevail, as in Bure.
Zadification the site must be aided by all available forces, it will be settlement
activity will determine the currents of the struggle and the nature of the dispute.
Come to the Flamanville 1 and 2 October as Bure during the coming years, the nuclear
industry is fragile and strong action will be decisive!

The main theme of this issue of Organise! is the ‘Commons' and issues related to the
control of and access to space. As anarchist communists we reject both private property
and state ownership. Therefore, we must consider how we might organise our use and our
access to the world's resources. How do we ensure that these resources are managed
sustainably and equitably? ---- The idea of the Commons has often been put forward as an
alternative way of viewing land and resources. However, there are two interpretations: It
could refer to land or resources that are not owned by anyone but to which a designated
group of people have the rights of access; or it could be land and resources that are
owned by everyone. In this issue you can find radical and utopian ideas of the commons and
public space. In order to struggle we need to have a vision of a different future, one
that will encourage and inform our struggles. We believe that this vision is essential in
a society that kills hope and freedom, that our vision must stand in revolt against the
sordid and banal reality of everyday life under capitalism.
In the third part of the Fight for the City series, we are shown how people are resisting
the privatisation of space - both housing and public space. Articles take a look at
various subversive practices like nightwalking and psychogeography which question narrow
ideas on public space. Such resistance is an example of the fight for the Commons - for
access to the resources that we need such as housing and insistence that we have the right
to go where we want. However, it is a hard fight, especially as there are increasing moves
towards the militarisation of space, discussed in this issue with an examination of the
work of Stephen Graham.
We also look at the idea of the Commons throughout history, dating back to ancient times
and then on through the Middle Ages. There is also a critique of the essay The Tragedy of
the Commons.
In addition, we look at positive developments in the international anarchist movement such
as the recent Mediterranean meeting of anarchists that took place in Crete in 2015, and in
the re-emergence of the anarchist movement in Cuba and the development of a Caribbean
Anarchist Federation.

migrant solidarity migrants' struggles immigration Greater Manche ---- Starting a new life
in the UK can be intimidating. Many things are different to how they were at home. Most
things are expensive, and some things are just plain difficult. There might be a new
language or a new culture to contend with. Dealing with all this whilst struggling to find
a job or accommodation can feel impossible. With this in mind, Manchester Solidarity
Federation have put together a short guide to the city. We've tried to cover all the
basics about living and working here, and where to go for help and what resources are
available. ---- The guide is available at manchestermigrantsguide.org.uk. We hope to have
translations into languages other than English in the near future. We must emphasise the
guide is a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, corrections or comments
please do not hesitate to contact us.

On Saturday, 24 September, LASC and the Mexico-Ireland Solidarity Collective organised a
vigil at the Mexican embassy to remember and to call for justice for the 43 missing
students of Ayotzinapa and the thousands more like them who have been disappeared in
Mexico. ---- Over a year ago, on the night of 26 September 2014, a group of student
teachers in the Mexican state of Guerrero were ambushed by municipal police as they
travelled in a convoy of buses through the city of Iguala. Five people, including two
students, were killed when the officers opened fire on the buses, and another student was
later found dead, his body showing signs of horrific torture. Forty-three other students
simply disappeared without trace. The students' disappearance unleashed a wave of public
outrage fuelled equally by the attack itself and by the narco-corruption which has enabled
drug gangs to infiltrate local governments and police forces across Mexico.
RAGE AND SOLIDARITY AGAINST A TERRORIST NARCO-STATE
To mark the two year anniversary of the disappearances, protests were held across Mexico
and the world to support the parents and relatives of the disappeared of Ayotzinapa.
The Zapatista National Liberation Army denounced the behavior of the Mexican government of
Enrique Peña Nieto for "rewarding" people strongly suspected of perpetuating impunity in
the case of the 43 forcibly disappeared students from the Ayotzinapa teachers college.
"(The) cynicism and perversion of the political class (...) not only continues to pretend
to search for the missing comrades, but instead, with the growing evidence showing the
guilt of the terrorist narco-state, rewards those responsible for lying and trying to
distort the truth even more," read the statement by the EZLN, referring to Tomas Zeron, a
state investigator who resigned for tampering with evidence and was subsequently promoted.
The WSM participated in a well-attended demonstration at the Mexican embassy organised by
the Latin American Solidarity Collective. The short ceremony included a roll call for the
43, a poem, and the tying of red ribbons to the embassy fence. Our messages of solidarity
will be taken to the parents, relatives and friends of the disappeared. The struggle for
justice for Mexico's disappeared continues.
