Toulouse: Concrete Wall Built On The Mais Square Against The A69 Highway

Marion, 41yo, on hunger strike since September 10 stands on a wall built by protesters on the Capitole place against the decried A69 highway. The placard reads 'the planet burns and Carole Delga builds us highways'. Several hundreds of people came on the Capitole place, in front of the townhall, to build a wall against the decried highway A69 Toulouse-Castres, to suppot the seven on 15 hunger strikers coming to the protest. some hunger strikers are on strike since September 1s. People and hunger strickers protest also against Carole Delga, president of the Conseil, and her support for the building of the contested highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres. The building of the highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres is underway. They want public authorities to react to the ecological consequences of this highway. They ask for a meeting with Carole Delga, president of the Occitanie region. They are ready to continue his hunger strike until the works stop. The collective 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free'), opponents and Thomas Brail want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content to be given. This highway would cost (at 2018 euro value) EUR512millions for 54 kilometers. Opponents at this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be suffisant for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. More than 100 protected species and 400ha of agricultural field would be destroyed if the A69 highway is built. Toulouse. France. October 2nd 2023. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
