Yesterday, Forsvarsbygg and Norconsult sent their new “proposal” for the areal plans of Chemring’s explosives factory to Naturvernforbundet. They instantly criticized these plans, as they suddenly affect a much larger area of the forest, nearby towns, streams and lakes than initially suggested. In addition, certain criteria have been adjusted in a way that Hurummarka appears to become the only viable location for this project.
While misleadingly calling their plans as a “proposal”, nothing essential about this factory is up to debate. A “no” is not – and has never been – a possible answer. Instead of being honest about this truth, Forsvarsbygg continues the theatre of “democracy” by now inviting citizens to “open meetings”.
We invite everyone to no longer accept this show as a inevitable normality. Join us for our open meeting on Saturday, 2nd of May, at 16:00 here in Avgrunnsdalen.
Let’s dream together about how this valley can develope into a place of ardent resistance and solidarity.
