Saturday October 12, 2024, 1000 people are currently gathered to protest against the Bordeaux-Toulouse LGV project in particular. The program for a “Great Game” of mobilizations was revealed this morning.
“Diversity of actions and different groups of all sizes”
The LGV non-merci and Uprising of the Earth collective announces that “a variety of actions are proposed, in different groups of all sizes and which will begin in the afternoon! » Nothing precise as to the places where these mobilizations will take place.
They add: “Together, we will show the project stakeholders that we are organized, supported, informed, joyful and strong. To do this, we will put our energies into one or more mini-games, inspired by the varied modes of action of the LGV non-merci coordination collectives.
“It’s not a classic demonstration, it’s a game,” they declare. “Autonomy and demonstration while respecting the place and without attacking people,” they advocated in their speech this morning.
A first action has started
A first action has begun, “with a larger group than expected, say the opponents. More than 700 people carried the framework of the construction which will be builtthe ! »
The objective: to build a wooden structure on one of the passages of the LGV project.
In this group, there are many people dressed in black and most of them are protecting their faces.
The issue is that we rise up here, rooting out previous struggles. The objective is to connect with the people of the territory to strengthen and consolidate.
Philippe Barbedienne, owner of the occupied land, spoke this morning.
» It’s 20 years of struggle. I stand in solidarity with these young people who are against this stupid project. We are being robbed of what little nature we have left. »
“I am very attached to the territory here,” he continues.
Regarding last night, he adds: “I live nearby. It’s a lot of stress for the people here. Because from 3:22 a.m. to 3:40 a.m., the gendarmerie helicopter passed with the siren blaring for no reason. They surely wanted to make this movement unpleasant for the people here,” he believes.
