Live from Sainte-Soline (Deux-Sèvres), journalist Ben Barnier takes stock of the tensions around the mega-basin project.
After the clashes that occurred on the weekend of October 30 in Deux-Sèvres, when activists arrived around the mega-basin of Sainte-Soline, should we fear new clashes on Wednesday November 2? “It will depend on whether or not work resumes today”estimated live on the spot the journalist Ben Barnier.
“We still do not know if these mega-basin works will resume today. The collective of farmers, who are requesting this water reserve, have not specified a date, but indeed, we know that as soon as these works will resume, tensions will also resume”, continues the reporter. And to see: “The area is also very guarded. More than 1,000 gendarmes are here.” The collective “Bassines non merci” has, for its part, planned a press conference on Wednesday at 11 a.m. to clarify its intentions.
