#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #FRANCE #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #France, UCL - Press release, The ZAP of Pertuis evacuated! (ca, de, it, fr, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Yesterday morning, June 29, 2022, at 7 a.m., several Mobile Gendarmerie companies

invaded the Zone A Protéger of Pertuis - or Zone à Patates - without the
inhabitants being able to recover or take refuge in the trees and other
protection devices. defense they had built. ---- Access to ZAP buildings are
quickly walled up, the surroundings locked by the gendarmes and traffic at
roundabouts filtered all day, to prevent any gathering. ---- Yet largely absent
from the scene, the regional press of this day highlights the effectiveness of
the state militias, their management "without clashes" of the evacuation of
squatters "without rights or titles". However, it omits to mention the regular
gassing of the Zapatatists harvesting their wheat in their field, at the end of
the afternoon. It still fails to mention the gratuitous destruction of orchards
and vegetable gardens planted by activists, sympathizers, inhabitants of the
entire Pertuis region. The gendarmes crushing fruit and vegetable plantations...
The symbol of a world to come.

Above all, it fails to mention the reasons for the very existence of the ZAP.
Roger Pellenc, former autocratic mayor of Pertuis, not content to occupy with his
companies several dozen hectares of an industrial zone desired and designed by
him, always wants more.

With total disregard for the food security policy of the Aix-Marseille
Metropolis, supported at the same time by its president Martine Vassal, and in
complete illegality with the "zero artificialisation" provisions provided for in
the Climate and Resilience Law, the insatiable octogenarian and millionaire
Pellenc, still wants to concrete 86 hectares of the most fertile land in the PACA
region.

Still illegally, he had already attacked the inhabitants with a bulldozer, tried
to have "his" municipal police invade the premises, while defending himself
before the cameras of France 3 from any conflict of interest between his project
extension of the industrial zone and the fact of devoting 40 of them to its own
companies...

Concreting these lands means further reducing food self-sufficiency, further
destroying the peasantry, waterproofing perilously floodable soils on the banks
of the Durance, preventing future generations from any hope of living in healthy
places. , diversified, intelligently inhabited, alive...

Collectives and associations throughout the region are in solidarity with the ZAP
and its fight - Confédération paysanne, COLL-E-C, UCL, ATTAC, Terres vives
Pertuis, Longo Maï, FSE, Les Uprisings of the earth, etc.

The struggle must continue to prevent these lands from disappearing under cement,
bitumen and useless stores! Inhabitants, occupiers, activists, all of us must
remain mobilized! Here, as elsewhere, the fight of the ZAP is the fight for life!
