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

Greta Thunberg is waiting for police authorization to use a public road to reach the private field where she is speaking during a press conference. In the woods near Semalens in the Tarn Department, on the planned A69 highway route between Toulouse and Castres, 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' and is a call to activists and sympathizers to build huts for 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') who are living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. 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.''
