Since October 16, enormous police resources are mobilized to evict activists squatting and 
farm dedicated to the future airport Notre-Dame-des-Landes. ---- JM Ayrault did not 
hesitate to grant the prefect important ways: CRS 600, 400 mobile guards, GIPN, 
helicopter, backhoe loaders, excavators ... all at the expense of the taxpayer who pays 
hotel accommodation in any of the cops region (between 500,000 and 1 million euros per 
week). Tuesday 16 at 6:30 am, with great fanfare tear gas and intimidation of any kind, 
the attack was launched against militants occupy and cultivate the area to defend (ZAD [ 1 
]) of Notre-Dame-des-Landes so, according to the prefect, " neutralize all stays illegal 
means . " About 150 200 people reside on the ZAD. Evictions have been anticipated, the 
resistance was organized: barricades on the roads, occupations roofs and trees ... And 
Nantes: daily demonstrations.

A huge area of ??lawlessness

Several squats were expelled or destroyed and reoccupied several other places can not be 
deported before October 27. The coup police should continue to criminalize activists and 
creating a huge area of lawlessness in the northern municipalities of Nantes 
(Notre-Dame-des-Landes, Vigneux-de-Bretagne, Fay-de-Bretagne ...) where people must 
undergo identity checks, interviews and searches of vehicles by 500 blue on site 
permanently. There have been arrests, police custody, school buses no longer go everywhere ...

Everything is under police control. The State Service Vinci suspended most basic freedoms 
such as freedom of movement and freedom to manifest one. The event of 20 October 1500 was 
attended Nantes 2 000 people, many political organizations and trade unions (the Left 
Party, NPA, Alternative, AL, CNT, Conf?d?ration Paysanne, Partners, Fase, ACIPA) and 
elected [ 2 ] with an absence of telling which side of EELV in 2011, promised yet no 
agreement with the government of PS would be signed without removing the project.

Expulsions ordered by Ayrault more involved in a struggle for housing - 300 people in the 
street - which led to the occupation of the "unique place" cultural mecca Nantes. The PS 
and Housing Minister Duflot, do not hesitate to expel additional 150 people before winter. 
The prefect pays more luxury to the prosecutor about " some objectionable writings of 
opponents calling for armed struggle and to intervene with violence in companies . " The 
PS also attacks the freedom of expression. Faced with this coup, the resistance must 
continue and organize to stop this catastrophic airport project! A manifestation of 
reoccupation will be held on November 17 at the ZAD and collections are organized to help 
the deportees.
