Sympathizers Of 'Squirrels' Against The A69 Highway Gather

A supporter is wearing a shirt with the message ''Face to the A69, another way is possible'' in Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024. As construction on the controversial A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres continues, four arborist-climbers, known as ''squirrels,'' are currently on trial at the Toulouse courthouse for obstructing the felling of trees near Verfeuil by occupying them. Supporters have gathered to back the ''squirrels.'' They have constructed a mock concrete wall where they are painting ''A69 won't be built'' and have burned a fake representation of the Earth. The ''squirrels'' are aiming to protect the remaining trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed. NGE/Atosca is cutting down trees even though not all legal procedures have been completed. The opposition group ''La Voie est Libre,'' along with Thomas Brail, is calling for the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriation processes for farmers have not be

The Works On The Planned A69 Highway Stopped By A Decision Of The Administrative Court

A press conference takes place in Toulouse, France, on February 27, 2025, as plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres win an 'administrative' trial on the content in front of the judges of the Administrative Court of Toulouse against the French State, along with the builder NGE and its concessionary Atosca. Judges revoke the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway, thus stopping all works. In December, surprising everyone, the judges decide to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision on the content. 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 Interest Imperative for public interest,' is invalid, as did the 'Rapporteur Public' before. The 'Rapporteur Public' sticks to her position that all environmental authorizations should be nullified, taking down the ''Major Interest Imperative for Public Inte
