Swedish Activist Greta Thunberg Speaks Against The Decried Highway A69 In The Tarn Department
Protesters against the A69 are walking to the press conference being held by Greta Thunberg in the woods near Semalens in the Tarn Department, on the planned A69 highway route between Toulouse and Castres, France, on February 10, 2024. Opponents of this project have organized a weekend of protest, called the 'Cabanacade', with the Swedish ecological activist Greta Thunberg. The event is taking place near the ZAD, dubbed 'Crem'Arbre', which is a call to activists and sympathizers to build huts for 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') who live in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. Greta Thunberg has stated 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. The riot police 'Gendarmerie Mobile' have intervened several times to block the railway between Toulouse and Castres and have used tear gas canisters to intimidate the protesters, as the protest is taking place on private lands.
