Last night the struggle resumed in Valsusa. In this Alpian valley of Italy a High Speed Train railway is projected with all its related infrastructure. However yesterday it was a first victoryfor activists: 100 of them surrounded the geological survey works… and the pigs did not turn up!!
This is a new phase in the struggle against this destructive project. People from Valsusa have been up against it for many years now. People already stopped this project four years ago and then the authorities started to think other possibilities, including transferring the project to another valley. Now, they are back in Valsusa to try it again. However, resistance has not vanished in the valley, it keeps strong and once again they’ll try to stop the excavators and the… thousands of cops deploy for protecting them.
last night it was the first night, but this will be a long fight, with loads of snow and cold. But they are used to it and so the defeated the machinery before.
Valsusa’s activists send a call to anyone to join them, offering food and shelter.
Police are already taking on strategic places. So are activists. From tomorrow onwards the fight will be direct and will last days.
SERA DURA!! IT’LL BE HARD!
NO PASARÁN! THEY SHALL NO PASS!
NO TO THE HIGH SPEED TRAIN!
