“The Sacking of Nantes, indeed!”: ZAD residents respond for Feb 22nd demo

March 16, 2014 by bogoodness

Related Show: The Final Straw Radio


This show can be heard on AshevilleFM starting EARLY on 3/17/14, then later at thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org. It’ll podcast via radio4all.net afterwards.

This week’s show features an interview with two residents of the ZAD about the demonstrations of February 22nd in Nantes, France. Also, Anarchist prisoner Sean Swain talks about Swivilization in his weekly segment. More on him can be found at seanswain.org

The demonstration, dubbed a “sacking” by the media and police, featured directed attacks by demonstrators on offices of the French construction company threatening the lands of Notre-dames-de-Landes, a police station, a travel office, and a private transit company. The day of action also featured speeches, picnics, play, marches, discussions and theater.

In this conversation, some folks from the ZAD describe what they saw, why violence occurred, how that violence as an idea is wielded to form a narrative by the media and state and how it was experienced by folks actually present with the movement and the land.

More info on the ZAD can be found at zad.nadir.org
