In Luxembourg The activists left the Bascharage forest
BASCHARAGE – Activists who rejected the bypass project had settled in the forest since July 15. They ended their occupation last Sunday.
The occupation by activists of the Bobësch forest in Bascharage has come to an end. This is what the group Bobibleift indicates on Thursday, which specifies that the occupation ended last Sunday. As a reminder, activists who rejected the Bascharage bypass project had settled in the forest since July 15.
“We had a lot of success during the occupation: we built a big circle of supporters, we congratulate Bobibleift. We have proven that forestry occupations do not only work in other countries. We have seen that Luxembourgers are ready to go further when it comes to fighting climate change and protecting nature”. Asked by The essential on the number of people who came to support them, the collective could not be reached immediately.
Be that as it may, the latter indicates that he will continue his action on October 22, at the Bascharage/Sanem station. “To give the government and all those who voted to build the bypass another chance to rethink their position, we would like to invite them on a walking tour through the affected land,” the activists explain.
Organized by the Bobibleift collective and guided by biologist Roger Schauls, this hike “will reveal the importance and uniqueness of Bobësch and Zämerbësch”. The expert will also discuss “the importance of these forests in relation to the climate crisis”. In addition, Bobibleift warns that it could occupy again, “if necessary”, the forests of Bascharage.
