Spring arrives at La Gare while ANDRA accelerates

Hello friends, accomplices and everyone who hates nuclear power,

It’s been a while since we have not given any news so here is a little update on what is happening here : the occupation of La Gare is now in its sixth month. Like everywhere, spring is coming (whatever the color it takes) and some nights are already surprisingly sweet for this season. The bees are buzzing in the air – sometimes even a drone that thinks itself discreet when it flips above us. A rural idyll south of the Meuse.

Otherwise, daily life takes its course. We take advantage of the good weather to recharge, walk, have picnics, observe nature. We take advantage of the bad weather to discuss politics, have good meals, refine our complicities and friendships.

A strange visit

Two weeks ago, we received a visit from Renaudeau (mayor of Gondrecourt and therefore of Luméville). Accompanied by his grandson of about 10 years, he destroyed all the barricades and trenches on the agricultural road parallel to the south of La Gare using a tractor. At first, we thought of a publicity stunt for the municipal election campaign, but this strange character in the service of ANDRA is the only candidate in the municipality. It would therefore rather be a simple weekend pastime of this declared opponent of the resistance to CIGEO. To be honest, we are quite disgusted by this small family outing and we seriously wonder what the parents of the little one think about it. Projecting his hatred towards us on a young child, teaching him what a pleasure it is to chase people from their homes and also using him as a human shield against the supposedly so dangerous ZADists, it’s at the very least debatable!

Deliberated on 23 March

In a week, the court of Bar-le-Duc will render its verdict in the summary trial against La Gare. Here you will find an article that explains the possible options : https://bureburebure.info/au-proces-de-la-gare-a-bar-le-duc-11-02-26/. The verdict will be notified to us, there will be no hearing. There will therefore also be no mobilization in court this time. Instead, we invite you to come to La Gare on March 23 in the morning to spend the day with us around a good meal and discussions. You can of course arrive earlier at any time and especially stay longer! For all those who come from far away or who have little time : be ready to come to La Gare in case the verdict is negative and immediate expulsion would be possible. We will publish the result as soon as we have received it.

The government is asking to accelerate the Cigéo project

The government has reportedly requested to tighten the schedule of the Cigéo project according to the prefect of Haute-Marne, Régine Pam. The public inquiry, initially planned for the autumn, would finally take place in mid-May, two months from now. A public inquiry is above all a travesty of democracy, but it will be the last time that the population will be consulted and given its opinion on the nuclear dustbin. The government could then issue the Creation Authorization Decree as early as September 2026 : it would give the green light to Cigéo.

The brutality of this acceleration of the calendar seems to go hand in hand with the brutalization of the government’s discourse on nuclear power. When, on March 2nd, at Île Longue, Macron parades in front of a missile launcher submarine, it is not to evoke the alleged ecological virtues of the atom. It no longer boasts of green and decarbonized energy but instead recalls that nuclear power is above all at the service of war and imperialism. If it has never been a doubt for us, the assurance with which Macron claims it and the martial staging are enough to scare. They only strengthen our determination.
