ACTIVE RESISTANCE CAMP IN DEFENSE OF THE LAND

Against the M.A.T. and the world which needs it

WHAT IS THE M.A.T.?
The ”very high tension electricity 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 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 crucial 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 that the struggle against the M.A.T. can be a starting point for questioning our way of living, which is mainly being imposed in the name of Progress.
So that the affected land can be used to create a space for meeting, information, resistance and action.

WHY HERE AND WHY NOW?
After more than 10 years of struggle, we are at a critical moment. In September expropriations are expected to begin 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.

AGAINST PROGRESS, I’TS INFRASTRUCTURES AND EVERYTHING THAT DEFENDS IT:
LET’S TAKE OUR LIVES BACK!
