Friday, September 19
Today, the camping for the Manif du Futur has slowly finished and was able to welcome its newcomers! However, the pressure is rising on the chicken side… many police and dam checks have taken place all around. This is discussed in other articles: Police harassment upstream of the future manif and https://bureburebure.info/manif-du-futur-le-programme-definiti>est-sorti-la-prefecture-a-publie-sese-arretes/. The dry land construction site finished on time for the future manif, what a timing!
For its part, the Gare camp is going wonderfully, despite the frequent passages of helicopters and planes… The demonstration of tomorrow is slowly getting ready.
We ended the day with some great fries!
