7th Day At The 'Verger' ZAD Against The Planned A69 Highway

7th Day At The 'Verger' ZAD Against The Planned A69 Highway

Bats are on the roof of the Verger house. For the fifth 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. NGE/Atosca begins the destruction work of the house and the cutting of all the trees. The CNAMO is a specialized unit of Gendarmes to unlock protesters. Squirrels live in the trees of the Verger ZAD. Gendarmerie breaks a deal between protesters and bats (people living on the rooftop of the Verger house): four bags of food and water for squirrels in exchange for four bats who quit the roof with only an ID check. Gendarmerie does not keep its word and brings them to a police station. Gendarmes of the CNAMO catch only one squirrel. Atosca cuts the tree immediately. They try without success to catch the other squirrels and mutilate Zineb, an old walnut tree, to catch two squirrels. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free) wants the highway to be stopped

The Works On The Planned A69 Highway Stopped By A Decision Of The Administrative Court

A press conference takes place in Toulouse, France, on February 27, 2025, as plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres win an 'administrative' trial on the content in front of the judges of the Administrative Court of Toulouse against the French State, along with the builder NGE and its concessionary Atosca. Judges revoke the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway, thus stopping all works. In December, surprising everyone, the judges decide to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision on the content. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads, among other things, that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Interest Imperative for public interest,' is invalid, as did the 'Rapporteur Public' before. The 'Rapporteur Public' sticks to her position that all environmental authorizations should be nullified, taking down the ''Major Interest Imperative for Public Inte
