Nearly 30,000 people, including many families, gathered today in Sainte-Soline in Deux-Sèvres, in a joyful and determined atmosphere, to denounce the construction of mega-basins in progress.
As more and more often the Minister of the Interior has banned this demonstration, preferring to support a minority of farmers who persist in defending an outdated model with regard to emergencies in terms of food and the environment.
But a new step in the repression has just been taken: massive disencirclement grenades, blind LBD fire from moving quads, all to protect an empty crater.
A human chain formed by elected officials and demonstrators to protect the area where the injured were cared for was even charged by the police.

We thought that the power would have learned the lessons of Sivens. It is not so.
The deputies of rebellious France present on the spot, Gabriel Amard, Clémence Guetté, Murielle Lepvraud, Marianne Maximi, Manon Meunier, René Pilato, Loïc Prud’homme and Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, wish to denounce this alarming escalation and provide their support to all the injured. They reaffirm their opposition to this project.
