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

Protesters are facing riot police who are blocking the railroad between Toulouse and Castres. In the woods near Semalens in the Tarn Department, on the planned A69 highway route between Toulouse and Castres, opponents of the project are organizing a weekend of protest called the 'Cabanacade' with Swedish ecological activist Greta Thunberg.

Greta Thunberg is stating that maintaining such a project is insane as it will compromise the quality of life of the inhabitants and will destroy not only nature but also agricultural fields.
