Environmentalists in Germany and France are making the trip to the site of nuclear waste to Gorleben in a pitched battle. Here a video of the clashes on Sunday afternoon.
Significant numbers of the demonstrators (30-50 thousand) according to the estimates: we fight is against "trade waste" between the two countries, including the transformation of the former salt mine in Gorleben from temporary storage in the final. The green and anti-nuclear movement in Germany is now taking extraordinary dimensions.
The record is pretty raw, clashes with police in the neighborhood and the police in riot gear, smoke, water cannons and injuries among the demonstrators. Some protesters chained themselves to the tracks, the route has been changed several times but without managing to avoid moments of tension.
Allow me a personal assessment: the no-nuke movement clearly has the right to protest where, how and when it sees fit, but involve the transport of nuclear waste seems a huge contradiction. They are the first to say that they are dangerous, that should not be handled lightly, then there is the risk that the derailed train, the carriages that are damaged or worse than someone taking advantage dell'assembramento to achieve the much-cherished (and never realized) dirty bombs.
