Bure’s anti-nuclear struggle: Info tour in Germany

After 20 years of struggle against the burying of nuclear waste in Bure
(France), the determination of activists is still growing.

In the year 2016, many strategies (legal actions, sabotage of the
construction site, demonstrations…) were used to stop the destruction of
the Bois Lejuc forest by ANDRA (national agency for disposal of nuclear
waste). The wall illegally built by ANDRA in the summer of 2016 around
the forest couldn’t resist our rage: we tore it down and our occupation
has gone on for nearly 6 months.

2017 brings great challenges: stopping the massacre of the forest by
ANDRA, contesting the sale of the Lejuc forest together with the
inhabitants of the village, extending the occupation further in the
woods, defending the twenty protected species recently discovered on the
site, such as bats, reptiles and cats cohabiting with a population of
boars, dears and owls, also endangered.

In 2018 ANDRA wants to get the final authorization to start to bury 99%
of France’s most radioactive nuclear waste 500 meters deep in the region
of Bure. This disastrous project is not only done with disregard to the
environment, but was pushed forward thanks to financial compensations,
green-washing propaganda, repression and intimidation of the local farmers.

ANDRA thought they could use their mafia style methods without any
resistance from the population; they were deeply wrong. Today, the
support for our struggle has no borders. From Notre-Dames-des-Landes to
Pyhäjoki, Hambach and Gorleben, solidarity is getting stronger on a
daily basis…

We invite you to join the struggle in Bure! During April, some activists
from Bure will do an info tour across Germany so we can meet and share
more details about our struggle.
