Swedish Activist Greta Thunberg Speaks Against The Decried Highway A69 In The Tarn Department

Arborist and activist Thomas Brail of the GNSA is speaking to the press as protesters are being blocked by police on a public road in the woods near Semalens in the Tarn Departement, on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, France, on February 10, 2024. Opponents of this project are organizing a weekend of protest, called the 'Cabanacade', with Swedish ecological activist Greta Thunberg. The event is taking place near the ZAD, dubbed 'Crem'Arbre', and is a call to activists and sympathizers to build huts for 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') who are living in the trees to block their cutting. Greta Thunberg is saying, ''It's insane to maintain such a project which will compromise the quality of life of inhabitants and will destroy not only nature but also agricultural fields.'' Riot police 'Gendarmerie Mobile' are intervening several times to block the railway between Toulouse and Castres and are using tear gas canisters to intimidate protesters as the protest takes place on private lands.
