ATTENTION! Change of date. General mobilisation of opponents to the airport project the 9th January, following the announcement of the hearing for the 13/01/2016 to evict historical inhabitants and peasants.


After the ‘adjourned’ trial of December 10th aimed at evicting the historical inhabitants, and within a climate of announcing evictions and resuming work early 2016, let’s show Vinci and the state that we won’t let them do so.

The movement against the airport calls for a massive day of action on Saturday 9th January. For the Nantes region, a bike-tractor and walking march is being prepared. We call on support committees and all the opponents to imagine right now how to participate on this day with similar actions (or others) in their regions, or to join us.

Since there won’t be an airport, for the immediate abandonment of eviction procedures: book your Saturday 9th January! And ​​widely circulate the information around you. More info coming soon. Looking forward to finding each other on the roads and in the streets.

Some members of various components of the NDL struggle [Notre-Dame-Des-Landes] (including ACIPA, ADECA, COPAIN, some ZAD occupants, gathered in a general assembly on December 14th).

Motorway blocked in massive anti-airport demo

A massive and powerful display of determined opposition to plans for a new Nantes airport was staged on Saturday January 9. The motorway system around the sixth largest city in France was closed down for the day as 20,000 people and 450 tractors took it over. Farmers who tried to block a major motorway bridge all night were eventually pressured to leave by riot police, who couldn’t resist attacking them with tear gas even though they were moving off.

Solidarity protests were also held in more than 40 other places, including Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseilles, Strasbourg, Lyons, Albi, Rennes, Chambéry, Nîmes and even Barcelona.

The turn-out was much bigger than the organisers had dared hope, particularly since the mobilisation was brought forward a week from the original January 16 date.

The urgency comes from the fact that Vinci, the giant construction business building the airport, are going to court on Wednesday January 13 to try to secure an emergency order for the eviction of four small farmers and 11 families currently living and working on the land earmarked for the profiteering development.

With no apparent sense of irony, the same French state which revelled in the phony environmental “breakthrough” at COP21 in Paris is looking likely to deploy the full brutal might of its militarised police to attack the ZAD protest zone at Notre-Dame-des-Landes and clear the Breton countryside for Vinci’s airport.

The state of emergency still in place after November’s terror attacks in Paris will make it even easier to impose the destructive will of the industrial capitalist system with legitimised violence. In a post-protest statement, opponents of the airport called for President Hollande to halt the eviction process and pledged to do everything possible to stop the project going ahead. The next step will be a protest outside the court in Nantes at 10.30am on Wednesday for Vinci’s eviction application.
