2nd Day Of Attempts By Gendarmerie To Clear The 'Verger' ZAD On The Planned A69 Highway

In Verfeil, France, on September 17, 2024, policemen of the CNAMO arrest a 'Squirrel' in an oak tree that will be cut for the building of the A69 highway. For the second day, Gendarmerie and CNAMO try to dislodge 'Squirrels' from the trees they occupy at the 'Verger' ZAD (Zone to Defend). The 'Verger' ZAD is situated on the planned and disputed A69 highway project. As Gendarmerie and CNAMO intervene, NGE/Atosca begins the destruction of the house and the cutting of all the trees. 'Zadistes' try to resist Gendarmerie in the 'Verger' house without success. 'Squirrels' live in the trees of the 'Verger' ZAD. The driver of the excavator is admonished by Gendarmerie for his dangerous behavior with the excavator, putting human lives in danger. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free) wants the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient

    Two woodcutters cut down a plane tree where two 'ecureuils' still live. The gendarmerie blocks access to one of the rivers of the Canal du Midi to expel 'ecureuils' (i.e., 'squirrels') who occupy trees. 'Ecureuils' occupy the trees to block their cutting for the LGV (high-speed train line) near the St-Jory lock on the Canal du Midi. Many residents come to support the 'ecureuils' standing in the trees. In one day, CNAMO policemen dislodge only one 'ecureuil'. Zadists (i.e., 'development protesters') begin to install a ZAD (Zone to Defend, a militant occupation intended to physically blockade a development project) along the Canal du Midi (UNESCO World Heritage Site). They intend to block the construction of a new high-speed train line between Toulouse and Bordeaux. 'Ecureuils' (i.e., people living in trees nicknamed 'squirrels') already live in some trees near the Canal du Midi. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse.
