Protest In The Countryside To Support 'Ecureuils' Occupying Trees To Block The A69

Protesters at the place where 'Ecureuils' (ie 'squirrels') occuopy trees to block the building of the A69 highway. Opponents to the decried A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres organized a march from the village of Cuq-Toulza to the 'Sherwood forest' to support the three 'ecureuils' in the oaks still standing. In the woods near Cuq-Toulza in the Tarn Departement, three people ('Ecureuils' ie 'squirrels') climbed on oaks to block their cutting for the building site of the A69, in the woods nicknamed by opponenets the 'Sherwood forest'. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free') 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. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 millions (in 2018 euros without the inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than

    Protest Against A Non-decision Of The Administrative Court On The A69 Highway In Toulouse

    A protester writes 'No' on her hands. Between 1,000 and 1,500 people gather in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2024, against a non-administrative court ruling of the Administrative Court against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The judge decides to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision. Plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads, among other things, that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid.
