The CNAMO is a specialized unit of Gendarmes to remove protesters. 'Ecureuils' (i.e., 'squirrels') live in the trees of the 'Verger' ZAD. Gendarmerie breaks a deal between protesters and bats ('chauve-souris' people living on the rooftop of the Verger's house): four bags of food and water for 'ecureuils' in exchange for four 'bats' who leave the roof with only an ID check. Gendarmerie does not keep its word and brings them to a police station. Gendarmes of the CNAMO catch only one squirrel. Atosca cuts the tree immediately.
