7th Day At The 'Verger' ZAD Against The Planned A69 Highway
Opponents bring food and water to 'squirrels' under Gendarmerie surveillance. 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 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's 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'
