Girona, Spain: Call for camping against the M.A.T. power line

 

 

WHAT IS THE M.A.T.?
The very high ten­sion pow­er line (M.A.T.) is an elec­tric motor­way which trans­ports at least 400,000 volts. It is being con­struct­ed in order to con­nect Euro­pean States to each oth­er and also Europe with Africa. It is nec­es­sary in order to sell and dis­trib­ute excess ener­gy pro­duced by nuclear pow­er plants and the so-called alter­na­tive sources of ener­gy. At the same time, it is the net­work which cap­i­tal­ism needs in order to sup­ply the elec­tric­i­ty nec­es­sary for oth­er projects and infra­struc­tures of death and destruc­tion, such as high-speed rail­way lines. Those respon­si­ble for all this are always the same ones and the con­struc­tion com­pa­nies in ques­tion are direct­ly involved in oth­er projects which are destroy­ing lands around the world; com­pa­nies like Vin­ci stand­ing out in Europe and Ende­sa in South Amer­i­ca.

 

WHY THIS CAMP?
So that the last deci­sive sec­tion for the con­nec­tion between France and Cat­alo­nia can not be con­struct­ed. So that the ener­gy com­ing from 6 French nuclear pow­er plants does not cross this land or any oth­er. So as to treat the strug­gle against the M.A.T. as a start­ing point for ques­tion­ing our way of liv­ing, which is main­ly imposed by the dom­i­na­tion of Progress. So as to cre­ate on the affect­ed land a space for meet­ing, infor­ma­tion, agi­ta­tion and action.

WHY HERE AND WHY NOW?
After more than 10 years of strug­gle, we are at a deci­sive moment. In Sep­tem­ber expro­pri­a­tions are expect­ed to begin, direct­ed against own­ers who have refused to sign the sale of land need­ed for the con­struc­tion of the M.A.T.’s last pylons in Girona.

It is because of all of this that we are invit­ing you to par­tic­i­pate active­ly in the camp, in order to share, strug­gle and resist in a self-run space, with­out lead­ers and rep­re­sen­ta­tives. We want to cre­ate moments of exchange and con­nec­tion between var­i­ous strug­gles, because the M.A.T. affects us all and is not an iso­lat­ed strug­gle.

AGAINST PROGRESS, ITS INFRASTRUCTURES AND ITS DEFENDERS:
LET’S TAKE OUR LIVES BACK!

SEE YOU ON THE 23rd OF AUGUST, 2013 ON THE LANDS AROUND GIRONA

Bring every­thing that you need for camp­ing.
