Local referendum backs the Notre-Dame-des-Landes airport project

๐Ÿ“… 26 Juni 2016 ๐Ÿ“ Frankrijk

A consultative referendum in Loire-Atlantique returned a majority in favor of building the airport, with roughly 51 percent turnout. Opponents questioned the scale and framing of the consultation and continued to challenge the projectโ€™s environmental impact and legitimacy. The result was politically consequential but did not end the dispute: the government later abandoned the project. Recording this vote alongside movement actions shows how institutional procedures and grassroots claims over land and consent interacted.
