Notre-Dame-des-Landes: Valls: “If the no wins, the project will be abandoned”

On a five-day consultation on whether to maintain the airport project with the transfer to Notre-Dame-des-Landes from Nantes, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the protesters will leave the area, whatever the result.

The protesters that are “illegally” occupying land of the Nantes airport project of Notre-Dame-des-Landes (Loire-Atlantique) will leave “whatever the outcome” of the local referendum on Sunday, warned Manuel Valls five days before the referendum.

“If the no wins, the project will be abandoned. If the vote is yes on Sunday, the project will be undertaken. And I also want to remember that whatever the outcome, people illegally occupying property should go, ” said Mr. Valls during the questions of the government in the National Assembly. ” The rule of law applies to Notre-Dame-des-Landes as elsewhere in the country “, he argued.
