Goals & Support

Why ? 

:: Germinal Peiro, current representative of this area at the parliament, is also president of the County Council since April 2nd 2015. He has the upper hand on dispensing subsidies, to mayors and communities, which has been a strong leverage to subdue any opposition or criticism.
While petition against the project reached 200 000 signatures, communities have been denied any right to discuss any aspect of this project, as Germinal Peiro also took the head of EPIDOR in June 2015 to insure total control over the situation.

Beynac bypass was his father’s lifelong project, mayor of Vézac Ferdinand Peiro, and was contested from the start. Not identified as a priority by previous Councils, it had been in abeyance for 20 years.

EPIDOR is a public structure whose mission is to “act in favour of water ressources durability” for the Dordogne Bassin.

How?

:: Such a project is not compatible with the goals and the management of the Dordogne Biosphere Reserve.

As EPIDOR has tight links with the Dordogne Council, and has a non-ethical implication in the project, we ask the French government to stop the project, as it may legally decide it.

Our hopes are now with the UNESCO representatives.

Thank you for helping us bringing their attention to it.
