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

Riot police are blocking the railway 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 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 known as '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 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. The 'Gendarmerie Mobile' riot police are intervening several times to block the railway and are using tear gas canisters to intimidate protesters, as the protest is occurring on private lands.
