The bulldozers will start destroying the Rospuda Valley wetlands – unless they meet resistance. We intend to put up a fight to save this natural space and to show the government that people can fight back against their idiocy and corruption.
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM
The Rospuda Valley is a natural treasure, protected by Nature 2000. It is found within a larger premieval forest complex and is the home to rare and even unique species of fauna and flora. It is home to some rare birds – black storks, lesser spotted eagles, buzzards, harriers and warblers. There are lynx, wolves, elks and beavers in the area.
But the state wants to build a bypass through it as part of the Via Baltica Highway.
There are other options for routes but they don’t want to hear about it. Why? Cause road building is big business. Politicians and their friends buy up land and sell it and a big profit. If you know where the road is going to go, you can make a fortune.
They also don’t want to hear about it because they have big complexes. They don’t like the European Union to tell them what to do because they want to pretend to be a regional superpower. They don’t like ecologists to tell them what to do because they know better what’s good for everybody. Despite the fact that the building of this road is clearly in contradiction which EU regulations, despite the fact that the government of Poland will probably face huge fines (which of course the citizens will have to pay for), and despite the fact that the government was supposed to consult with the EU before doing anything, all the paperwork has been signed and a green light has been given to start the construction.
CURRENT SITUATION
Budimex firm is going to build this part of the bypass and either it or a subcontractor will start bulldozing soon. It is thought that this will occur within the next two weeks to a month. In March some birds come to the area which would make this work harder.
Currently it is –20 degrees in the area. The region where the road will be built is the coldest in Poland and because of the frozen lands, the bulldozers haven’t moved in yet. But it is expected to get warmer next week.
On Monday Feb. 12, activists arrived in the area to set up a protest camp. For the first few days, only a dozen or more people were there but the number is growing and a large group of people are heading there this weekend. The protestors are ecologists and anarchists for the most part. A larger group of people will probably head out next week because it is anticipated that the weather will warm up a bit and we can expect the bulldozers to come.
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP WITH SOME MONEY THAT WILL BE GREAT
MONEY WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AT THE MOMENT THERE. NOT TO ANY ECO ORGANIZATION.
FEW OF MY FRIENDS ARE THERE AT THE MOMENT AND THEY NEED HELP
there is -20 degree today
please send money to: (registered letter)
