"New lawless area"
"Activists have put up barricades and have settled illegally on the Carnet site, which is owned by the Grand Port Maritime Nantes Saint-Nazaire, reacted the president of the Pays-de-la-Loire region, Christelle Morancais," who defends the project.
I immediately alerted the prefect: we cannot allow a new lawless area to settle in the region.
"
The president of the region indicates that after several years of consultation, the project "which could generate 1,200 direct jobs and bring the ecology of tomorrow" has received the approval of several large environmental associations.
Work is due to start in 2021.
