"When we say the word zadiste, it means that we land with Quechua tents"

Marine Tondelier also denies creating "lawless zones".

"These are not lawless zones, they are zones to be defended. Who said that the ZADs were lawless zones?"

she asks before continuing.

"It's funny because when we say the word zadiste, for the government it means that we land with Quechua tents in the hemicycle and that we lay siege. Me, the ZAD, it's another imaginary. It is the imaginary of having defended the bocage of Notre-Dame-des-Landes against obsolete airport runways."
