It has come to the attention of France’s Federation Environment Durable (FED) that a windmill park project is under instruction in Denting, in the French department of Moselle. This park would be located at Ban Saint-Jean over a mass grave where over 23 000 corpses have been found: bodies from Russian and Ukrainian citizens who were killed there as a result of forced labour. This site is the largest Nazi death trap located in France.
The FED is surprised and deeply shocked that the French authorities and the German company in charge of the project could have even considered such a symbolic site full of painful memories for so many.
This particular choice constitutes one of the most troubling examples of the anarchic, insensitive and relentless development of windmill parks in France and demonstrates, once again, that there is nothing – not even a mass grave dating from World War II – likely to keep wind park operators’ ambitions in check.
The FED requests therefore that the French government, national and local elected officials oppose this project and further, considering the current chaotic nature of wind park development in France (of which the proposal outlined above is another shocking example), immediately suspend future onshore and offshore wind development. https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/economie-social/moselle-des-eoliennes-au-lieu-de-memoire-du-ban-st-jean-1606863718?fbclid=IwAR2OiyNNfqBBVIBHHM6WrvkqkzcPlRekLb_KGbxbOdErj29B99X4VdpUGQg
