This week we speak to an Australian activist and hear her first hand account of the campaign to stop a radioactive waste dump in France. We learn that that are quite a few radioactive parallels between our countries.Links mentioned during the interview are:en.vmc.camp (in english, updates on the occupation)sortirdunucleaire.org (in french, legal process)burezonelibre.noblogs.org (in french, website for the house project)https://archive.org/details/poubelle-la-viea"poubelle la vie" a film made in 2015, with english subtitlesLetter to Australian delegation from French Activists:Dear distinguished Australian visitors,The Nuclear industry is a ticking time bomb, whether radioactive waste is dumped in Bure, Wallerberdina, or anywhere else. There is no known way to permanently neutralize it. All claims to the contrary are unfounded (visit nirs.org for details). By accepting to dump nuclear waste in Australia you are not only endangering the lives of aboriginal people and Australians in the region, but of wildlife and of the lives of those who will suffer the consequences nuclear production from extraction to waste everywhere. Here in Bure, Andra’s project has already cost the lives of two workers, most recently last January, showing the company’s incompetence and disrespect for human life. Undemocratically and illegally imposed on us, the costs of the Cigeo waste project rise as resistance to it is burgeoning, manifesting in absurd military and police presence in the area.As nuclear power proves to be obsolete and dangerous the world over, and as sustainable alternatives are increasingly available, resistance materializes in Australia as well. You can choose to fight for a just, ecologically balanced world now, and leave Andra’s profit-driven propagandists to listen to what we have to say, or meet us from the other side of the barricades. We are fighting for our lives and for the lives of our children. We are a growing contingent of local and international activists occupying Bure to stop nuclear catastrophe. In our collective way of organizing and living we present an alternative to nuclear waste and to the sick world which produces it."
