Sympathizers Of 'Squirrels' Against The A69 Highway Gather

An Earth model is burning in a newspaper, and a leaflet reads, 'A69, you too find it scandalous to cut centennial trees?'

Supporters have gathered to back the 'squirrels.' Sympathizers have constructed a mock concrete wall where they are painting 'A69 won't be built' and have set ablaze a faux Earth. The 'squirrels' are aiming to protect the last trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed.

    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. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given.
