'Ecureuils' Who Occupied Trees Along The A69 Highway Dislodged By Police And Firefighters
An old man, Jerome, 89 yo, lives near the trees occupied by the arborist-climbers ('Ecureuils' ie 'squirrels'), his house has been seized for the highway. His house with fields was valued at EUR640,000, NGE/ATOSCA gave him only EUR200,000. Not enough for him to buy another house. As the public works to build the decried A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres continue, arborists-climbers occupied trees in three places: La Bourelie, La Prade and Bernazobre. Under heavy police protection, arborist climbers of 'La Bourelie' have been dislodged by police herlped by firefighters. Trees were cut immediatly after the arrest of the arborists-climbers. They wanted to protect the last trees the public works group NGE/Atosca hasn't already destroyed. Journalists aren't allowed to approach at less than 200m Environmentalists occupied three places (La Bourellie, La Prade and Bernazobre) where trees are cut by NGE/ATOSCA even if all justice procedures are not cleared.
