A huge military police operation continues to play cat and mouse with the thousands of Occupiers of the ZAD site of the proposed ‘white elephant’ airport in Nantes, NW France.

Il reste plein de lieux occupés (des terrains et les trois maisons qui ont du délai jusqu’au 27 octobre), tou-e-s les occupant-e-s sont sur place, avec plein d’autres gens venus pour défendre la zone, et plein de messages et d’actions de solidarité de partout !
Ce n’est pas leur pression policière qui rendra nos contestations impuissantes, les actes de résistance continueront tant que le projet ne sera pas retiré.

The ZAD – to the developers it is the Zone d’Aménagement Différé’, the differed development zone and for us it’s a Zone À Défendre: a zone to be defended. Either way, it’s a part of the countryside close to Nantes in France, which according to the decision-makers should make way for an international airport.

Their construction project «Grand Ouest» is an economic platform of international importance stretching from Nantes to Saint-Nazaire, which will form a singular, huge metropolis. Fulfilling this project means taking over the sky, the sea and the land in 
replacing the current airport in Nantes with a new one at Notre-Dame-des-Landes, but also enlarging the port at Saint-Nazaire and constructing new roads and highways…
Our goals, in coming to live here on the proposed site of the airport, are many: to live on a protest site, where we can be close to those who’ve been opposing the project for 40 years and to have the power to act when construction happens; to make use of abandoned spaces to learn to live together, to cultivate the land and to be more autonomous from the capitalist system.

Higher risk of evictions on the ZAD Several sources let us believe that evictions are imminent. We got wind of a first wave of evictions on Tuesday the 16th of October at dawn. We received precise informations about where troops will be staying, the planned route to access the area, the number of personnel involved (500 gendarmes). This first wave should concern houses that are already evictable and also the cabins. This should be followed by a second wave about ten days later, regarding (…)
