'Ramdam Sur Le Macadam' Gathering Against The A69 Highway Toulouse-Castres

A scientist of 'Scientists Rebellion' speaks before the beginning of the protest. Nearly 10 000 people participated to a week end of action called 'Ramdam sur le Macadam' in the Tarn department against the decried highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres. Several corteges took place and went to different places. Police tried at several moments to blck the access to the camp at protestors even during the cortege. Several political parties, unions, ngos called to this week-end of protest. The main assocation 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free'), opponents and Thomas Brail want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content to be given. All expropiations for farmers aren't cleared. Opponents at this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be suffisant for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money.

    7th Day At The 'Verger' ZAD Against The Planned A69 Highway

    People watch as Atosca buries the 'Verger' house under soil. For the fifth day, Gendarmerie and CNAMO try to dislodge 'Ecureuils' (i.e., 'Squirrels') from the trees they occupy at the 'Verger' ZAD (Zone to Defend). The 'Verger' ZAD is situated on the planned and disputed A69 highway project. NGE/Atosca begins the destruction of the house and the cutting of all the trees. 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. They try without success to catch the other 'Ecureuils' and mutilate Zineb, an old walnut tree, to catch two 'ecureuils'
