[France] Strategic developments: Looting/property destruction

Property destruction: On 2 April 2025, overnight, several construction machines and installations were sabotaged at a site of the South Bordeaux Railway Developments (AFSB) in Villenave-d'Ornon (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), causing significant material damage. The attack was claimed on the Attaque website by individuals identifying themselves as part of the 'Gang of Contorted Autonomous Nails' (Gang des Clous Contorsionnistes), considering the AFSB project a symbol of state-imposed corporate interests, arguing it prioritized economic interests over environmental and social concerns.
