Toulouse: Gathering And Hearings At The Administrative Court Against The Planned A69 Highway
A man holds a placard reading 'A69 in the fire, Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the middle'. 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, along with the builder NGE and its concessionary Atosca, regarding the planned highway A69. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads 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'), which opposes the project, wants the construction of the highway to be stopped until all judicial decisions are made. Opponents of the project argue that reprofiling the N126 will suffice for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hec
