Week of Iceland Actions in the Low Countries

16.03.2007
This morn­ing, Sav­ing Ice­land and the Dutch/Belgian envi­ron­men­tal­ist net­work Groen­Front! built a dam blockad­ing the entrance of the Ice­landic Embassy in Brus­sels (pho­to-report). Ear­li­er this week, a pick­et­line was held at the Ice­landic Con­sulate in Rot­ter­dam and the folk singer Armand, the “Dutch Bob Dylan”, per­formed songs of praise to Ice­landic nature. Last night, Earth­First! closed down both ALCOA’s Dutch head office in Drunen and an ALCOA fac­to­ry in Kerkrade, the Nether­lands in oppo­si­tion to heavy indus­try. The actions this week express grow­ing inter­na­tion­al con­cern on the plans for expan­sion of the alu­mini­um indus­try and megahy­dro in Ice­land and oth­er coun­tries such as Trinidad and Brazil.
