WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, Courant Alternative #350 (OCL) - A Perspective on the "Stop Micro" Mobilization (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr) [machine translation]

 As in the two previous years, the Regional Coordination Against Arms and

Militarism was present at the actions organized by Stop Micro at the end
of March. On March 28th and 29th, an international conference
"Semiconductors: The Impossible Relocation" brought together a large
number of people in Grenoble, and on the 30th, a demonstration brought
together approximately 2,200 people in Bernin, on the outskirts of
Grenoble, the city where Soitec and STMicroelectronics chip factories
are located. A major difference from previous years was that this set of
activities was co-organized with the Earth Uprisings, a group whose
practices and rhetoric we criticize and reject. We will have to revisit
this majority choice by Stop Micro and its practical, political, and
ideological consequences one of these days.
The demonstration brought together 2,200 people, according to our count.
There were approximately 1,600-1,800 people in Grenoble the previous
year. This is therefore progress, but far from the organizers' cries of
victory (3,000 people) (a figure fiercely debated internally) and even
further from the 5,000 that the professionals in communications,
strength, and "composition" had hoped for. The leaflet we distributed
widely throughout the demonstration processions (2,000 copies) even
imperfectly reflects the participation in this demonstration, our
analyses, and our criticism of the SDLT. This criticism was also very
concretely expressed by those directly concerned who demonstrated under
the banner "Stop the vampirization of our struggles by Earth Uprisings."
