On 1st April a shoal of fish [From ‘poisson d’Avril’ – ‘April fish’. On ‘April fool’s day’ a paper fish would be taped to someone’s back without their knowing it as a practical joke] targeted a dumper truck owned by Eiffage in Montreuil [near Paris]. A hammer fish smashed the windscreen, a saw fish took the tyres and an octopus left a clear message: “Eiffage, jail constructor. Down with prisons, Death to jails”.
Eiffage fill their pockets building jails and detention centres for migrants. This gesture wants to be a response in solidarity with those who struggle against this world and those that the repression is beating down on, as in a case of “criminal terrorist conspiracy” * and with the rebels of the detention centre for migrants in Mesnil-Amelot last January**.
In the moonlight or the daytime, there are still plenty of Eiffage trucks to be destroyed!
A shoal of fish going against the tide
Notes:
* On 8th December 2020 a repressive operation struck 7 people in different areas in France, suspected of preparing an action against the police. Five are still being held in pre-trial detention, two are on bail. https://attaque.noblogs.org/post/2020/12/11/france-sept-interpellations-mais-tout-le-monde-deteste-la-police/
