José Vosé activist with Confederación Campesina detained in France.

category international | environment | news report author Monday June 23, 2003 14:11author by iosaf ipsiphi o' as if - reading news reports and giving you the news. Report this post to the editors

Sunday morning at 6am he was arrested at his farm and taken to Montpellier by helicopter.

José Bové is an ecologist and anti-capitalist/anti-globalist activist.

This is a "genetix snowball" type problem with a "French" twist.
read on....

In 1999 he was sentenced to 6 months for his part in an attack on a McDonalds Food Corporation Hunger outlet. He served only 44 days of that sentance after winning a presidential pardon which granted reprieve on the end of the sentance.

But two further sentances hung unserved.

In 1998 he attacked (with others, and with lots of internatiopnal support) fields of transgenetic Maize [corn] and in 1999 he attacked transgenetic Rice seeds.

He has ten months outstanding sentance to serve for these "offences".

His group hopes that their petition will win another Presidential pardon on July 14th.

However after yesterday's raid on his farm in which 80 armed gendarmes grabbed him, it seems likely that France is about to change it's own rules on transgenetic foods, crops and seeds.

This ought be of serious concern to all activists in Ecological and anti-Genetic circles.

Objet : Barcelona 2004
dimanche 15 février 2004


Monsieur,


La volonté de Barcelona 2004 de travailler en étroite collaboration avec de nombreuses multinationales dont les politiques me parait de nature à orienter les débats et les travaux dans une direction incompatible avec la mise en place d'un développement économique respectueux des sociétés et de leur environnement naturel.

Deux d'entre elles en particulier, Coca-cola et Nestlé, ont été et sont toujours fortement critiquées pour leur indifférence par rapport aux impacts négatifs que leur recherche avide de profits ont sur les petits et moyens paysans du monde entier. L'exemple de l'usine de mise en bouteille de Coca-cola à Plachimada, dans l'état du Kerala dans le sud de l'Inde est révélateur du peu de cas que cette compagnie fait des ressources locales en eau. Nestlé pour sa part investit agressivement dans le secteur des eaux minérales sans porter la moindre attention à l'augmentation inutile des transports de marchandises.

D'autres multinationales qui appuient Barcelona 2004 se sont également retrouvées en confrontation directe avec des organisations et des associations partenaires de la Confédération paysanne depuis de nombreuses années.

Le patronage ostentatoire de ces entreprises avec lesquelles nous sommes en conflit ne me permet pas de répondre favorablement à l'invitation que vous m'avez faite de participer au Dialogue "Water for Life and Security".

Par conséquent et afin de lever toute ambiguïté, je vous serai reconnaissant de ne plus me faire figurer dans la liste des personnalités invitées, indiquée sur le document que Barcelona 2004 diffuse actuellement sur son site Internet.

Je vous prie d'agréer l'expression de ma considération distinguée.

José Bové
