Because we don’t let them beat us, we continue to rap!

Here is the piece of Tuesday, 17 April, mixed as it should be.

(Yes, well, we didn’t manage to do it on 10 April, because there were a dirty band of cops in the place where we had planned our workshop-barricades...) And even though there’s no mash-up tomorrow, there will be two more to come during the day!

The PSIG [police surveillance and intervention team] has left Llama. Again there is an armoured vehicle with a video camera, and around 15 bad guys. There’s a team of clowns standing up against them. Every little helps!

At Bison: an armoured vehicle, plus around 30 meanies, 10 vans, an unmarked car. In principle there is access through the field to the west.

Traffic information: 2 vans checking IDs (drivers and passengers) + opening boots, at Trocardais, on the road between Fay and Temple.

Don’t hesitate to ask the cops for the papers which authorise them to check passengers and open boots, and you could even take photos and send them to the emergency phone number if you can!

New charge at the Chèvrerie. The horribles are invading the field to the north-west of Bison Fûté. The armoured vehicle is at the entrance of the Chèvrerie road. It is firing off tear gas.

We take advantage of this posting to send a survival guide for the use of the barricades! See here:

As well as several sound montages complied. See here:

A meeting is underway at the town hall of NDDL, with the Prefect, to make the historic farmworkers of the ZAD sign COPs (precarious occupation agreements) with the aim of recovering their rights.

Charge at the Chèvrerie. The armoured vehicle arrives at the first barricade with around 60 horribles and an armoured vehicle. People also tell us that the PSIG are present with dogs at Llama.

Communication from the people who have not submitted forms to the government. These are the people who have refused the strategy of filing individual project files, named but interdependent, at the Prefecture, because they want to extract a commitment to collective management of the ZAD. Here they explain why:
