A year has passed since the March 2023 mobilization in Ste Soline. This
weekend of actions marked the history of the fight for the defense of
water by its scale, its determination, but also by the policy of terror
applied by a violent and irresponsible government. ---- Since then, the
monstrous craters that drain water from the aquifers have only found a
few politicians subservient to agro-industrial lobbies to defend them.
Everywhere, voices of citizens, farmers and scientists are being raised
to demand that the force stop and that our vital resources be protected.
From now on, no water grabbing project escapes the vigilance of local
residents and their mobilization. This collective awareness of the
urgency to act is a success, obtained thanks to years of struggles and
the powerful convergence that occurred that weekend on the Terres Rouges
of Ste Soline.
But if the name of this small commune in Deux-Sèvres is now known to
everyone, it is still too often used by those who seek to silence the
voices that disturb them. In the courts which have condemned the
anti-basin activists for several months, in the Council of State to try
to dissolve the Earth Uprisings, in the parliamentary committees, in
certain media even in the hemicycle, the memory of the demonstration de
Sainte-Soline is too often sullied to describe a reality disguised in
the service of power.
While the police violence was astonishing in its brutality, it was the
30,000 people from France and abroad who came to demonstrate, dance,
share and debate who were described as terrorists, small violent groups.
While hundreds of collectives organized 3 days of actions and
discussions for water sharing, a few spokespersons were designated and
condemned as the organizers of an illegal demonstration.
While these gestures of resistance have given rise to new alliances and
new actions against the basins have been organized for a year, the
gendarmerie reports are pleased to have broken the morale of the resistance.
There are many examples of instrumentalization. Unfortunately for Macron
and his gang, there are far too many of us who can bear witness to what
really happened in the fields that day. The traces left by the struggle,
the stories and the works that it inspired reveal the Machiavellian
strategy of those who decided to monopolize the water whatever the cost.
History will retain resistance to safeguard the general interest and our
voices will never be stifled.
