Aspe Valley Camp

A fresh beginning for the 12 years of resistance to the E7 motorway in the beautiful Aspe valley in the south of France has arrived. On May 7th there was an anti road demonstration with 3000 people which ended with the construction of a tree house camp, directly on the destruction site.

It took the state one and a half days to evict this first camp. At the third eviction some 100 cops and the Prefect (regional head of government) showed up. The camps' trees were cut immediately. However, a new base camp has been erected again! This has been built on land that's not been confiscated yet and still quite near to where construction work will take place soon. At the moment some 15 people are inhabiting the camp. Help is needed!
