      Toulouse: 'Ecureuils' Try To Slown Down The LGV Project On He Canal Du Lidi

      Activists swim in front of river policemen to slow down CNAMO policemen who try to arrest 'ecureuils' living in the trees. The gendarmerie blocks access to one of the rivers of the Canal du Midi to expel 'ecureuils' (i.e., 'squirrels') who occupy trees. 'Ecureuils' occupy the trees to block their cutting for the LGV (high-speed train line) near the St-Jory lock on the Canal du Midi.

Zadists (i.e., 'development protesters') begin to install a ZAD (Zone to Defend, a militant occupation intended to physically blockade a development project) along the Canal du Midi (UNESCO World Heritage Site). They intend to block the construction of a new high-speed train line between Toulouse and Bordeaux. 'Ecureuils' (i.e., people living in trees nicknamed 'squirrels') already live in some trees near the Canal du Midi. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The proj
