Demonstration in Amposta: The river is life

 

No al transvassament

18th of May, a very  important date for the Ebre lands: demonstration in Amposta against the deleting of water from the Ebre river. The Catalan government want to take water to Barcelona and its region, because they say we are going through an emergency period of extreme dryness. We don’t trust them, because we know there is enough water in the city and its surroundings so as not to suffer. We are going to fight the project. We’ll be a “river” of people who are going to march in the streets of Amposta to fight for the gnity of our land and our people. After this project, more deletings will follow, that’s why we can’t accept it!!!
This is a poem to support the fight against this crazy project that can lead to the disappearance of the Ebre delta:

 
We belong to a land of sweetest water,
we love that lovely river of wet stars,
and a piece of land in the middle of the country,
and a language of ancestors, a language of all.
And we scream at the top of our voices,
The river is life!
We belong to the people who live around us,
gentle people who work in dry fields,
gentle ones who sail in the nearby sea,
those who grow olives and those who fish,
we’ll let us hear our voices everywhere,
the river is life!
And we’ll sail on tender waters and sing
lullabies to kids who want to live in this land,
to old ones who’ve worked so hard,
to men and women who want to listen,
a single message of love and dignity.
The river is life!
