Despite the state of siege imposed by the government, a crowd of 15,000 to 20,000 people has succeeded, whatever the cost, in reaching different points of the ZAD this Sunday. This afternoon new groups are arriving all the time. 

Since this morning, the state has done everything possible to break this huge surge of solidarity: there are road blocks and checkpoints everywhere; police checkpoint policeman at the exit lanes of the motorways, asking drivers not to to try to go to the solidarity gathering. 

This is the first time that the state has tried to prevent a big demonstration of this kind on the ZAD, and to wind up the tension. But here the collective spirit has not allowed itself to be intimidated by any such thing: the ZAD’s supporters know the country paths, and the fields, and they have been moving in groups in order to get round the police blockades. 

The movement that succeed in forcing the abandonment of the airport project is here again today, in all its strength and diversity, to defend the ZAD.

For those who do not know it yet, at around 9.00pm the cops left the area, removing their forces entirely. 

At that same time our enthusiasm gave us the strength to move mountains … and to move the frame of the new collective building that we had said that we wanted to install at Gourbi. 

More than a hundred people helped to lift the structure, and carried it along the roads of the ZAD, step by step, in an amazing outpouring of energy and euphoria.
