Large Mobilization Against The Mega-basins Near Poitiers And The Firing Of Tear Gas Started A Fire
Protesters are marching during a demonstration against the construction of a giant water reservoir (mega-bassine) in Migne-Auxances, western France, on July 19, 2024. Fifteen months after the clashes at Sainte-Soline, several thousand opponents of irrigation reservoirs, who have been gathering in the Deux-Sevres since July 16, 2024, are demonstrating in neighboring Vienne on July 19, despite a ban imposed by the authorities. This ''great march,'' aimed at ''extracting a moratorium'' on the construction of water reservoirs, is leading them to fear ''acts of great violence'': more than 3,000 gendarmes are being mobilized to ''protect'' farms and agricultural installations.
