After The Legally Binding Rapport Of Michel Forst, Activist Try To Resupply Activists In The 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD

Activists from LVEL (La Voie Est Libre, meaning 'The Way Is Free') and other associations are currently trying to pass through the riot police to resupply the 'Ecureuils' (meaning 'Squirrels') who are living in the trees of the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 1, 2024. Despite the demands of Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, for the resupply of the 'Ecureuils,' the riot police are blocking the efforts, including those of MP Karen Erodial, who also tried unsuccessfully. The 'Ecureuils' are occupying the trees to prevent them from being cut down for the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) have intervened to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees to prevent the supply of food and water by sympathizers. After two days of police efforts, only one 'Ecureuil' has been dislodged, but new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new area

    Toulouse: Gathering And Hearings At The Administrative Court Against The Planned A69 Highway

    Toulouse: Gathering And Hearings At The Administrative Court Against The Planned A69 Highway

    An opponent holds a cardboard sign with a message. People gather in Toulouse, France, on November 25, 2024, as plaintiffs, including LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, and D'Ingrando, go on an 'administrative' trial against the French State, the builder NGE, and its concessionary Atosca, regarding the planned highway A69. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), argues that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid. The main association, 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), wants the construction of the highway to be stopped until all judicial decisions are made. Opponents of this project claim that reprofiling the N126 will suffice for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.
