A-Infos (en) France, Union Communiste Libertaire UCL Aveyron - Ecology, Industrial wind: against the expulsion of the zadistes of the Amassada (fr, it, pt)[machine translation]

This Tuesday, October 8, around 5:30 am, the gendarmes began the expulsion of the "  free 
hamlet of Amassada  " in Saint-Victor-et-Melvieu, Aveyron. Activists have been fighting 
for more than four years, opposed to the project to install a mega electric transformer, 
carried by RTE (Transmission Network). ---- The rumors circulating for several days were 
confirmed yesterday when large units of mobile guards arrived on the Larzac, Millau and 
Saint-Rome-de-Tarn, neighboring town of Saint-Victor. This marks a term after the numerous 
false alarms, raids or trials that the struggle has been undergoing for a year. ---- For 
more information: "  Amassada: the time of occupation  " , Libertarian Alternative, March 
2019.
On the side of the bad guys: 150 mobile cops of the anti-ZAD cop Antoine Berna , supported 
by two armored vehicles, more than 300 cartridges of tear gas, the helicopter (at the end 
of the game) and the presence of the prefect (Catherine Sarlandie de la Robertie with his 
little Hermes scarf and his Twitter account).

Opposite: a hundred activists, the occupants and occupants of the site, residents and 
inhabitants of the village and surroundings, members of the Confederation peasant who 
arrived to defend the ZAD, a hunting horn ... and barricades. The town hall (positioned 
against the project) has reaffirmed its support for the Amassada and made available the 
village hall from Tuesday to welcome supporters and the press.

Appraisal: A tank that the cops burned themselves, a cop in a ditch and another "  fell  " 
in a barrel of 200 liters of water. In our ranks: two guards, some scratches and inhaled 
lachrymos, songs, solidarity.

The course of events is to follow on the site of the Amassada

Zadstes occupied the roof of one of the buildings
cc Prefecture of Aveyron
Besides this, it is necessary to note the evolutions of the strategy of destruction of the 
occupied zones. The prefecture has communicated a lot to say that the evacuation had 
proceeded without injuries, and in complete control. In fact the mobile gendarmes were not 
there to board us (too much) to hit or shoot (still 3 lachrymos per person). They did not 
even embark the last 6 and last militants perched were on the roofs. Feminist activists, 
however, copiously insulted them for four hours, going so far as to show their buttocks 
(tagged) to the aristocratic prefet.

The cops were robots, impassive, impervious, useless to try to explain to them that it is 
the State and RTE which are scrapings. The gendarmes who evacuated people from the roofs 
even presented themselves as "  rescuers  " ! Anything ... We still do not know how to say 
more, but the fight's slider was moved by the cops this time around.

A new phase of the fight
Side Amassada ("  assembly  " in Occitan), it is acquired that the destruction of the 
buildings of the occupation is "  only  " the end of an act of the fight. An assembly is 
not limited to one or more buildings, contrary to what Berna could believe that confuses 
destroy the Amassada and destroy the site.

From now on the collective calls to continue with him the fight to prevent the 
construction of this transformer of greenwashing. The evacuation was promised since last 
year, and this year won was rich of constructions, links and different struggles. The 
state is more illegitimate than ever on this project and globally on the other struggles 
of South Aveyron.

In order: the weekend of 1 st , 2 and 3 November with demonstration of reoccupation 
Saturday, November 2nd.

The Libertarian Communist Union affirms its total support for the expelled from the 
Amassada and the inhabitants in struggle !

Solidarity with the Amassada ! No res our arresta, nothing will stop us !
