The police response to the 30,000 people who met on 25 March against the gigantic Sainte-Solin abstruse has been of extreme violence. The 3,200 police officers, organizers, the Human Rights League and journalists have officially used as "weapons of war." The result: about two hundred hit, of which 40 are severe, and two still between life and death. Psychological support and the message of the importance of mutual care are since channeling the organising collective Les Soulevements de la Terre (Earth Uprisings). The government warns that there have also been some 40 police strikes.
There was nothing to destroy or occupy, it was just a hole, but the French state has done everything to protect the vacuum -- using weapons of war and hitting two hundred activists.
The collective Les Soulevements de la Terre (Earth Uprisings), the peasants union Confédération Paysanne and Bassine Non Mence (Uraska, no thanks) have called for concentrations to denounce this "barbarism" of the State, also denouncing the repression suffered by the movement against reform of the regattas. These three are moving against those mega-projects that would benefit industrial cultivation and the environment. The Ostia collective, the ELB Union and the Lurzaindia Foundation have denounced the "violence and repression of the French State" before the Baiona Suprefecto for the Northern Basque Country.
According to ARGIA, the movement against agro-industry and its gigantic mega-basins or abrevaderos is spreading and hardening in the report of France. In fact, last year thousands of people met in Sainte-Solin and the popular pressure was spectacular. On 25 March they met four times more. There was nothing to destroy or occupy, it was just a hole, but the French State has done its best to protect it… using weapons of war and hitting two hundred activists.
Since then we have seen the battle of the story. The Government's thesis is based on three elements: 6,000 demonstrators and 1,000 "violent radicals"; in front of them the police have not used weapons of war and the laces have been able to do their work.
The State’s account is being refuted by the organizers, and the evidence is serious: the Human Rights League present there states that there have been, that there have been weapons of war, the lacriere grenades, more specifically the classified GM2L and the LBD. Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin remains firm in the statement "No, no war weapons have been used in Sainte-Solin".
The organizers immediately denounced the ban on access to the area to the laces, as the LBD with unconscious Hungarian arms between hands did not come for a long time to ask for laces. But Darmanin insists that this is a fake news, so he's channeled his solidarity with the cops. But there too, the Human Rights League and then, on 29 March, the media Le Monde and Mediapartat opened the recordings of the phone calls that day, making it clear that cord assistance was prohibited. You can hear, "There's been a doctor, but we've explained to him the situation, we're not going to send helicopters and emergencies, because we've received this police precept." This is a statement from the Emergency Worker, March 25, to the person seeking care for people at risk of death.
Part of the recording of Mediaparte (in French) appears in this underlying tweet:
The relatives of two comedian demonstrators have denounced the "attempted murder", the "torment of the cords" and the "dissemination of secret files". The family he is in a coma has documented the attitude of the mainstream media, warning that his son is getting dirty and affirming that S is fictional: "Bai Serge S is fictional, like thousands of other militants in today's France. It has had judicial problems, like most people fighting the established order. He has participated in multiple concentrations against capitalism, like millions of other young people worldwide, thinking that a good revolution would not be excessive. These are not crimes that serve to dirty our son, but they are a great honor. Currently, S over 20,000 citizens in France are identified as "dangerous", without strong judgments or foundations. Suppose S is 3,000 fictional ecologists.
The issue is still at its peak, as the cover of Libération magazine on March 30 shows. On the basis of various testimonies, it is clearly explained that the victims have not been properly treated. The skin carries "120 minutes excess", referring to the two hours of unconsciousness and expected deafness:
The French State Council has decided that the Earth Survey should eliminate the destruction of the network. Although it is confirmed that this movement causes "violence against goods", the legalization would not be "an appropriate, necessary and adapted measure". It is good news for... [+]
