A69 Highway: 'Ecureuils' Occupy Trees In Front Of The Administrative Court Of Toulouse

Geoffrey Tarroux, a member of 'La Voie Est Libre' (meaning 'the way is free'), speaks to a journalist in front of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Thomas Brail, the activist and arborist-climber, and 'Ecureuils' (meaning 'squirrels') from the GNSA ('National Group of Trees Watching') occupy trees in front of the Administrative Court of Toulouse to convey to the justices, 'We are watching you,' and to raise awareness among passers-by. Tomorrow, the last hearing (in theory) against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres takes place at the Administrative Court of Toulouse. In December, surprising everyone, the judge decides to reopen the files instead of delivering the court decision on the content. Plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca.
