France’s nuclear industry is currently advancing by leaps and bounds.
The CIGEO [1] nuclear waste project is accelerating with the recent announcements of archaeological excavations and expropriations [2] from January 2024 (allowed by the validation of the Declaration of Public Utility).
The main purpose of landfilling the nuclear waste is to maintain and increase nuclear production in France. Vote on the “relaunching” plans for the construction of 6 new nuclear reactors, extending the operating life of reactors already at their “end of life”, training of nuclear engineers in schools, “European taxonomy” [3], etc…
To this must be added the fact that we have never been so close to a nuclear war since the end of the cold war, and that France is the last country in the European Union to produce and possess the atomic bomb.
In this military-industrial context, the race for productivity does not seem to stop on its own. Bure and its surroundings, rural territory that the CIGEO project wants to destroy, become a strategic place to build our struggles, because by opposing their garbage project, we oppose the nuclear industry as a whole.
Since Bure, we think that a time of anti-nuclear meetings on anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist bases must take place to accompany this will to structure the oppositions and give strength to the resistances.
These meetings will take place from Wednesday 17 to Tuesday 23 April 2024. We are still working on the program. We already know that we want transmissions of experiences and practices of struggle, walks, strategic discussions, and joyful moments! If you recognize yourself in these terms, you are invited to these meetings. Do not hesitate to let us know your proposals for the program.
To help us anticipate logistics, it’s cool if you pre-register. It’s anonymous, it’s not obligatory, it’s not binding, but it gives us guidelines on how many people want to come! It’s this way!

On-site vegan canteens will cook and we will provide breakfast. If you can and want to dumpster dive on your way coming here, it will be very welcome 🙂. We will only cook vegan stuff. Also the shops are far, if there are any small things that comfort you / that you need, do not hesitate to buy it beforehand.
For the nights there will be several dormitories, some in chosen mixity without cismen, other mixed. Some will be in less heated spaces than others. Do not hesitate to send us an e-mail if you have specific needs, e.g. if you cannot sleep in a dormitory. You can also come by truck or tent if you are not afraid of the cold.
We do not currently plan spaces and programming for the younger ages. If you have needs on this subject, you can get in touch with us so that we can think about it together.
The main place of reception, the house of resistance is not ideal for the non-humans who might want to accompany you we will surely be a lot of people and crowded in the interior. There are also two kittens living here at the moment so we need to take care of them. If you live with non-human buddies who are rather stressed or uncomfortable when being in the midst of other individuals it can be complicated for you. So if you have other places where they can spend the week it can be easier for them and for us. If they come anyway and you want to exchange with us to anticipate your needs do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or via the form.
It’s possible that there are requests from the telephone operators or IMSI Catcher from the police to find out about the phones that are entering the territory, if this is a problematic that questions you do not hesitate to consult information on this subject such as the text on mobile telephony: https://infokiosques.net/spip.php?article1975 [in french]
