“Le Var fights for its water “. This Saturday afternoon in Toulon, more than 200 demonstrators gathered on the Place de la Liberté to express their opposition to the quarry project in Mazaugues.
“ We fear an imminent start of the operation of this site“, explain Nina Millet and Thierry Gontier, representatives of the anti-career collective of Mazaugues.
“Water pollution”
“ This project is a scandal: sanitary because of pollution of drinking water, ecological with the destruction of protected species, safe because the quarry is planned in a Seveso site, and democratic because the project is imposed against the opinion of the citizens. and mayors “, insist the opponents.
On the Place de la Liberté, many associations joined the collective: the Collective of local interest of Mazaugues, the Générations movements and La France insoumise, the Solidaires union, Cad’Eau, the yellow vests of Cuers and even the relay department of Jean Lassalle!
“The health risk of this project is certain and a re-study of the file is essential “, slips Christelle, the Var representative of the elected representative of Béarn.
Armed with banners, the opponents count well “ seize a legal opportunity to block this project. Because 60% of the water consumed in the Toulon area comes from Mazaugues. We don’t want the people of Toulon to be the future victims of water pollution! “.
