The description/explanation of the session
Notre Dame des landes
(NDDL) is a grove area, close to Nantes (north west of France). The
mayor (our prime minister) decided to build there a huge
international airport. Nantes has already a airport which is not
used a 100 %. And there's the pic oil. Nantes is linked to others
big city in France by several Very Fast Train (TGV) lines. There's an
ecosystem and peasants in NDDL. So this is an stupid project. But
support by right wing parties, socialists, communist … Even the
Greens don't really fight against it. But it's a long radical struggle
with hunger strike, support of the locals … And Vinci, who is
supposed to do the job, is involve in the project of the main
motorway of Khimki (Russia) and the channel under the Bosphorus in
Istanbul.
