'squirrels' Occupy Trees To Be Cut For Tha Decried A69 Highway

Sheeps pasture on a meadows which will be destroyed for the building of the decried A69 highway. As the public works to build the decried A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres continue, arborists-climbers decided to occupy the trees, the public works group NGE/Atosac hasn't already destroyed. Trees are cut under police surveillance. Environmentalists occupy the three places (La Bourellie, La Prade and Bernazobre) where trees are planned to be cut even if all justice procedures are not cleared. '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. All expropiations for farmers aren't cleared. 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. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 millions (in 2018 euros without the inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400ha of agricultural fields will be destroyed. Tarn. France.
