Ze droegen spandoeken met leuzen als \u201cStop het beton\u201d en \u201cWater voor het leven, niet voor hun winst\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>24 natuurgebieden met ecologische waarde worden hierdoor getroffen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Het 107 kilometer lange en 54 meter brede kanaal, dat door de departementen Oise, Somme, Nord en Pas-de-Calais, zal een belangrijke schakel worden in de Seine-Schelde-verbinding, een door de Europese Unie gesteund project dat tot doel heeft het goederenvervoer via de binnenwateren te bevorderen en dat toegankelijk is voor schepen met een laadvermogen tot 4.500 metrische ton.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Het project beslaat 3.010 hectare en er moet 74 miljoen kubieke meter grond worden verplaatst, maar volgens de demonstranten heeft het ook gevolgen voor 24 natuurgebieden van ecologische waarde.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDit is een erg duur kanaal,\u201d legde het collectief M\u00e9ga Canal Non Merci uit, daarbij verwijzend naar de stijgende projectkosten. Aanvankelijk werd het project geraamd op 5 miljard euro, later bijgesteld naar 7 miljard, en volgens recentere schattingen bedraagt het nu meer dan 10 miljard euro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMaar het is ook schadelijk voor het milieu, zowel voor de wilde dieren als voor de waterkringloop,\u201d aldus het collectief, een van de organisatoren van het evenement, dat volgens de organisatoren 3.500 deelnemers trok. De prefectuur, die ook 900 wetshandhavers had ingezet, schatte het aantal op 2.000.<\/p>\n<p>De organisatoren plaatsen ook vraagtekens bij de belofte van een grootschalige verschuiving van wegvervoer naar vervoer over water. De initiatiefnemers van het project beweren dat het kanaal jaarlijks het equivalent van 500.000 vrachtwagens van de weg haalt.<\/p>\n<p>Momenteel vindt meer dan 85% van het goederenvervoer in Frankrijk plaats over de weg, tegenover slechts 2 tot 3% over water. Het vervoer over de binnenwateren stoot 3 tot 5 keer minder CO\u2082 uit dan het wegvervoer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_189591\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189591\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-189591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/746021519_1727989018396406_7320262518856172819_n.png?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/746021519_1727989018396406_7320262518856172819_n.png?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/746021519_1727989018396406_7320262518856172819_n.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/746021519_1727989018396406_7320262518856172819_n.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-189591\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enkele activisten tijdens de demonstratie \/ Les Soul\u00e8vements de la Terre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Een van de grootste sluizen van Europa<\/h4>\n<p>De demonstranten hadden hun actie gericht op de sluis bij Oisy-le-Verger, een symbolische locatie omdat daar, na 50 jaar van discussie en controverse, de bouw van de toekomstige sluis \u2013 een van de grootste van Europa \u2013 van start is gegaan.<\/p>\n<p>Over de gehele route van 107 kilometer komen zeven sluizen.
