In support of opponents of the A69, we sabotaged the Toulouse-Narbonne railway line on the night of February 28-29.
The SNCF is following the lead of the neoliberal state, increasingly abandoning the freight system in favor of roads. The aim is always the same: to make money flow into the coffers of private companies (private carriers, private builders and managers). The song is old by now, only the pace has changed a little, and accelerated in recent years. Widespread social misery is just one of the consequences of this song, while the devastation of our land in the name of profit is another.
We’d like to salute the rebels who, in these winter months on the crèm-arbre zad, have tried to resist the steamroller of a mafia-like and childish system with determination. We can only imagine that the few nights spent in these cabins must have been cold and damp. That’s why we’ve tried to pass on a little warmth.
We don’t want to praise trains and freight either, because we see them as part of the same oppressive and devastating industrial system. It doesn’t matter whether nuclear or weapons waste is transported by train or truck, it’s logistics that makes this system work. And the devastation wrought by a rail infrastructure is no less significant than that of a freeway. The forthcoming construction of the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed line will show us this.
Courage to those who resist
Translated by Act for freedom now!
