(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL Summer edition - Notre-Dame-des-Landes: The airport project is mired (fr, pt)

Since the last show of force against airport Notre-dame-des-Landes with the demonstration 
of February 22 in Nantes, abandoning the project seems to much more credible and close. 
Think after this victory possible, remembering to keep the pressure on power is 
increasingly necessary. ---- The event on February 22, with 50 000 people, seems to have 
considerably undermined the airport project which already had the lead in the wing. The 
statements proa?roport of all kinds, Vinci and PS head, showing unfailing optimism in 
achieving their productivist delirium no longer convincing to most. ---- Moreover, for 
some time, it even seems rather they make low profile. Local media are regularly echo 
reflections undoubtedly raise a certain smell of fir for the project. First there was the 
announcement in April of the National Council for the Protection of Nature (CNPN) 
expressing a negative opinion on the request made by the Prefect, a derogation for the 
destruction of protected species what the vole.

Information and articulate resistance

June could also read in the newspaper Ouest France an article on possible compensation 
Vinci in case of abandonment of the project! More generally, the indefinite freezing of 
the project and its very vague future to make the population the idea of a more credible 
victory and fatalism less appropriate. Some farmers have chosen there has long been 
agreement with Vinci, rather than the denial of expropriation, have also felt them as well 
as the wind turned in our favor. These former owners, who have sold their land therefore 
Vinci dared return sow these lands which were in most cases recovered by farmers who made 
the choice of resistance!

So this is certainly not the time to release the pressure but continue to articulate the 
information battle, mind and strength on the ground. The latter is also always 
appreciated. On 23 April, following rumors of deportation of a farm on the Zad, several 
hundred individuals accompanied tractors held the barricades, the police are ultimately 
never came.

5 and 6 July to hold the forum and the annual festival of Notre-Dame-des-Landes. The 
opportunity to make a new demonstration of the popularity of our struggle, to strengthen 
solidarity with struggles against other major projects but also unnecessary to address 
important policy issues. How to continue the fight against the airport and his world if 
they win? What then land? How to articulate reformist struggles and revolutionary 
perspective? These are the questions that will be discussed in the capitalist and 
libertarian libertarian village Alternative Nantes group will also present.
