Blackwood Legal update

12-02-2004 03:04

First the good news.

Due to the discovery of dormice en route we have won a battle if not the war (yet!). Today, on the advice of CCW, the Welsh Assembly made Costain stop all work on site pending an (obviously, inevitably successful) application for the granting of a license to move the dormice. Whether the Assembly grant this license, or not, will obviously be a political, not an environmental, decision.

21st Century Dambusters - Fighting Itoiz

07-02-2004 13:33

We live in an age of water wars. The Israeli state occupys the West bank largely to take advantage of it's aquifiers and a recent attempt by the Turkish state to dam the Tigris and Euphrates rivers almost caused war with Syria. The control of rivers through vast dams has been the dream of states and corporations across the world for over 80 years. The Spanish state is no exception. In the North of the Iberian peninsula the Plan Ecologica aims to divert many rivers and put them at the disposal of industry, tourist hotels and intensive agriculture. The water wars are fought between states and within the states -- against the interests of the common peopleand against the very earth itself. In the region of Navarra the Itoiz dam will flood nine villages and destroy the wildlife of two valleys. The struggle against the itoiz dam has reached international prominence through the use of direct action by the ecological group Solidari@s con Itoiz (Solidarity with Itoiz).

Your fearless Freedom reporter caught up with two activists from the Solidari@s asked them some questions. I refer to the two activists only as 'M' and 'C' to keep their identities secret. [from Freedom, Anarchist News and Views newspaper]
