As part of the struggle against the nuclear waste landfill project (CIGEO) in Bure – France, since the 19th of June, collectives, associations, resisting inhabitants and farmers lived inside and with the freed forest of Mandres-en-Barrois by constructing cabins where the company ANDRA deforested. On Thursday 7th of July, riot police, tractors, bulldozers, helicopters entered the forest. But this eviction was absolutely not a defeat. It reinforces our anger, our rage and our determination. It is out of the question to let them keep these woods.

It is out of the question to let the cops roam there all day long, To let ANDRA’s mercenaries do their patrols again, to let them start their intolerable works again. For the week-end of the 16th and 17th of July 2016, we’ve called, under the hornbeams and the beeches, for « Worldwide and improvised antinuclear barricades ». It is urgent to be ambitious and realistic as we managed to be until now. So, this gathering will happen. And it will happen IN THE FOREST! After Bastille Day on the 14th of July, the only fireworks that will spring will be the ones we shoot against ANDRA and its world! Once again, our only limit is our number. Join us! WE WILL NEVER BE ATOMIZED! ANDRA, GET OUT!
