The dissolution of the Earth Uprisings was decided this morning in the Council of
Ministers. This is a new stepping stone in the worsening authoritarianism ofMacronia and in the worsening of social movements. UCL denounces thisdissolution, supports the Earth Uprisings and calls to join all support rallies.---- After months of false suspense, lobbying by the FNSEA and the BTP, agitationfrom the right and the far right, Darmanin won his case: the decision to dissolvethe Earth Uprisings fell at the end of the Council of Ministers this morning,Wednesday June 21, 2023.The government is using laws created in the 1930s to fight far-right groups.After anti-racist or anti-fascist collectives, it is now a historicalenvironmental movement by its structuring, its very broad support and itsoffensiveness that is targeted. Radical, anti-capitalist, increasingly strong andnow widely established in the social movement, it worries the state, whichresponds with ever more authoritarianism. The surveillance of several members ofthe Earth Uprisings, their vehicles or their homes was already a worrying firststep. The two waves of arrests in recent days, the last of which on June 20,under the pretext of internal security, only accentuate this authoritarianrepression. It should be remembered that the anti-terrorist services weremobilized against environmental activists following an action against Lafarge,which nevertheless distinguished itself in its support for the fascist terroristsof Daesh with the complicity of the French State.The support received in the National Assembly by Darmanin, when he announced theforthcoming tabling of the decree of dissolution, from right-wing and far-rightdeputies and parties is a good sign of the alliance of liberals, conservativesand reactionaries at the service of Capital, to protect their economic interests,in defiance of the health and survival of populations and of the social andclimatic emergency.According to the government, no violence can be legitimate in a state of law. Butwhere does the violence come from when, during the demonstrations inSainte-Soline against the mega-basins or in the Maurienne valley against theextension of the TGV Lyon-Turin, the police and the gendarmerie use weapons ofwar, and indiscriminately fire no less than one grenade every two seconds againstpeaceful protesters, hurting and traumatizing many of our comrades? Where is theviolence when, following a peaceful action against an ecocidal cement plant, itis terrorism charges that are used to spy on, search and imprison activists? Howcan we talk about the rule of law when Macron receives with great fanfare thereactionary libertarian billionaire capitalist and ecolo-tartuffe Elon Musk, thedictator-crown prince of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mohammed ben Salmane, whobuys himself tokens of good- driven by petro-dollars, or anti-migrant fascistGeorgia Meloni?After the social and union movement in the spring, environmentalists are now themain targets of the government. As floods, heat waves, biodiversity andenvironmental destruction accelerate at an exponential rate, the government'sonly response is batons, arrest and disbandment. But dissolutions will not stopclimate change at work, nor legitimate concerns, nor just reactions to protectpopulations and ecosystems from capitalist and imperialist appetites.Macronie is sinking deeper and deeper into criminal authoritarianism. The answercan only be unitary and popular. For there is no doubt that if the EarthUprisings are dissolved today without a massive response, tomorrow it will be allorganizations that oppose productivist destruction and the interests ofcapitalists that will be threatened.UCL gives its full support to the Uprisings of the Earth, denounces theirdissolution and calls to join all the support rallies organized today and June 28.We also demand the immediate release and without prosecution of those arrested onJune 20, the cessation of proceedings against those arrested on June 5 andagainst all activists who fight for the common good.There is no such thing as green capitalism, and we will continue to support,organize and join environmental mobilizations against unnecessary and ecocidalprojects. We will not lower our heads in the face of repression. We have no otherchoice.Libertarian Communist Union, June 21, 2023https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Face-au-capitalisme-et-a-l-autoritarisme-nous-sommes-les-Soulevements-de-la_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
