FRANCE-TRANSPORT-AIRPORT-ENVIRONMENT-NDDL
Pays-de-la-Loire prefect Nicole Klein (L) talks to Sylvain Fresneau, a fifth generation farmer in Notre-Dame-des-Landes and opponent to the scrapped controversial airport project planned there, prior to a negociation meeting gathering State services, an anti-airport delegation, and farmers' unions, focused on the future of the land which was planned to the airport's construction and turned by activists into a ZAD (zone to defend) protest camp, on March 19, 2018, in Nantes, western France.
France in January 2018 scrapped controversial plans for a new Atlantic coast airport and vowed to evict hundreds of environmental protesters who have lived in an anti-capitalist commune on the sprawling site for almost a decade. The decision president's government brings an end to half a century of bitter debate over the proposed airport near the city of Nantes. But it sets the government up for a standoff with activists who have turned the rural 1,600-hectare (4,000-acre) site at Notre-Dame-des-Landes into a protest camp and are refusing to leave.
