A protester walks past a wildfire started by a police launched tear gas canister during a march as part of a rally against the construction of giant water reservoir (mega-bassine) near in Migne-Auxances, western France on July 19, 2024. Fifteen months after the clashes at Sainte-Soline, several thousand opponents of irrigation reservoirs, who have been gathering in the Deux-Sevres since July 16, 2024, are due to demonstrate in neighbouring Vienne on July 19, despite a ban imposed by the authorities. This “great march”, aimed at "extracting a moratorium" on the construction of water reservoirs, has led them to fear “acts of great violence”: more than 3,000 gendarmes have been mobilised to “protect” farms and agricultural installations.
