roybon isere DONE

edit

The ZAD at [[Roybon, [[Isère, between [[Lyon and [[Grenoble, was created to oppose the proposed construction of a Center Parcs on the Chambarand plateau. Environmentalists had opposed the project since 2007, represented by the group 'For Chambaran without Center Parcs' ([[French (language)|French: Pour les Chambaran sans Center Parcs) or PCSCP. It would have created almost 1000 cottages in the forest.

The project was halted in December 2016, when the Administrative Court of Appeal in Lyon stated that two of the three orders permitting construction were illegal.[1]

The court agreed with environmentalist concerns about firstly wastewater processing from a site with a maximum capacity of 5,600 people and secondly how the water table would be affected, with 76 hectares of wetland under threat. The court did not agree that the potential loss of protected species outweighed the potential creation of 600 jobs. The Center Parcs franchise owner [[Pierre et Vancances announced they would appeal the decision.[1]

In 2018, the ZAD had several buildings including the Marquise and Barricade Sud. The thirty inhabitants were planning to construct a [[strawbale house and were busy growing vegetables and farming animals.[2]

bure DONE

edit

The ZAD at Bure, in the Meuse department, protests the expansion of a nuclear waste storage facility known as the [[Meuse/Haute Marne Underground Research Laboratory. Every year, the French nuclear energy industry produces around 13,000 cubic metres of toxic radioactive waste (in other words, 2kg for every French person or enough to fill 120 double-decker buses). Subject to state approval, all this waste would be stored underground at Bure from 2025 onwards.[3]

Since 2004, there has been a Maison de la Résistance (House of Resistance) in the centre of Bure acting as headquarters for the protests. Some land in the forest of Mandres-en-Barrois which would be destroyed by the building plans was occupied in 2015.[4]

At a demonstration in 2017, the police used a water cannon and fired tear gas canisters and stun grenades.[5] There were 30 wounded demonstrators, of which three were hospitalised. One of them, a 27 year old man, was struck by an exploding [[GLI-F4 Grenade|GLI-4 grenade on his foot. It made a hole 13 centimetres long and up to 3 centimetres deep.

2015-

2019

The Zad de l'Amassada in [[Saint-Victor-et-Melvieu, [[Aveyron, was set up in December 2014, to oppose the proposed construction of an [[electricity substation required by RTE ([[Réseau de transport d’électricité) to distribute the electricity generated by renewable sources, mainly wind turbines.[6] 'Amassada' means 'assembly' in the [[Occitan language.[7]

In 2016, there was a 'windy week' in which more cabins were built on the terrain of 7 hectares, with people coming from other ZADs such as Bure, Roybon and the Susa Valley. As a way to slow down the progress of the project, 136 people have become individual owners of plots over 3,300m2 of land and thus would have to be bought out individually by RTE, a subsidiary of EDF [[Électricité de France.[8]

RTE obtained a declaration of public utility for the project in June 2018, which meant they could evict the squatters. Then in January 2019, the site was given an eviction order and warned that they would be fined 2000 euros for every day that they stayed. A police raid in February resulted in the arrest of the five people on the site.[6]

Before their trial in July, two of the five have been forbidden from entering the ZAD and three from Aveyron.[7]

ZADNDDL

edit

ZAD Notre-Dame-des-Landes (also ZAD NDDL) is the most famous Zone to Defend (French: zone à défendre) in France. It is a large terrain SIZE which became nationally famous in france and has resisted several attempts by the French state to evict it.

1,650-hectare (4,080 acre) site.

history

edit

There had been plans since the 1960s to build an airport at Notre-Dame-des-Landes (NDDL), which had been bitterly opposed by local farmers and environmentalists. As residents were evicted from their homes, they refused to leave and became squatters, joined by activists who built homes and lived in the trees.[9]

REF? guardian? ADDDD >> in 2008, The plans were downscaled from a major hub, to be a €556 millon airport which was planned to open in 2017 and to host 9 million passengers a year by 2050. Farms were compulsory purchased by the state and then the squatters arrived.

In 2012, Jean-Marc Ayrault, the Socialist prime minister and former mayor of Nantes, declared "This airport will happen."[9] The attempt to evict the squatters was called Opération César. The operation involved 2000 police and the government backed down because of the public support for the occupiers.[10]

In a clearing, 40 tractors are chained together to protect the entrance to the Châtaignerie, a forest camp and communal living headquarters, with elaborate wooden huts. Volunteers are dishing out vegetable soup, activists are discussing schemes to plant vegetables, there is a bar, sanitary block and communications office with pirate radio frequency.[9]

In 2016, Aéroport du Grand Ouest (AGO), a subsidiary of Vinci Airports, began eviction proceedings against the last eleven families. Over one thousand people attended the courtcase to support the farmers. On the previous weekend, 20,000 people had blocked traffic on regional roads.[11]

>>>> ADD Supported by 200 activist committees around France.[11]

2017

edit

By 2017, there were around 70 different sites on the ZAD. Amongst the self-organised projects there were vegetable plots, a bakery (making bread from locally grown grain), a brewery, a pirate radio station and a newspaper collective. There were also herds of cows, goats and sheep.[12]

2018

edit

French president [[Emmanuel Macron announced in January 2018 that the plans for the airport would be shelved and instead the already existing airport at Nantes would be reinvigorated. The prime minister, [[Édouard Philippe, said that the squaters would have until sprng to leave.[13]

Following the successes of defeating the airport project and resisting eviction, the ZAD experienced internal problems, with differences of opinion on whether to legalise projects or not. Some projects agreed to file individual claims, whereas other refused to participate in the process.ref =Brooklyn

2019

edit

In March, 100 Zadists supported 10 colleagues who were called as witnesses in a courtcase relating to the events of October 2018, when someone attacked a farmer at Bellevue with an axe and was escorted off the ZAD. Of the five people under investigation, 2 were in jail, 2 were not allowed to enter the ZAD and 1 could reenter the terrain. Representatives of the ZAD denounced the charges. The people were amongst those hoping to sign leases by April 2019.[14]

Road

edit

The D281 road had been blocked and unofficially controlled since 2013. When the local municipality demanded that it was opened again, opinions varied on whether it was good to show willingness to collaborate or if it was simply the first step in the state's plan to evict. After much debate, the road was reopened and the structures built on the road were moved.
