Aspe Valley bridge occupation (France)

50 activists (amongst them a 30-strong Dutch rent-a-mob) occupied a bridge in the Aspe Valley (French Pyrenees) to stop construction of a devastating motorway and blocked another construction site for the same motorway some days later, which is quite remarkable considering the heavy-handedness of local cops. Both actions were part of the Dutch action trip to the Aspe Valley (SchNEWS 159). La Goutte d'Eau, the action Centre based in a former railway station, is still threatened with eviction, the court decision is due in June.
