Protesters are holding placards, one of which reads 'They colonize lands as they colonized our bodies, ZAD, everywhere,' as they demonstrate in the streets of Toulouse, France, on April 21, 2024. ZAD stands for Zone to Defend. Several thousand people are protesting against the controversial A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. Political parties, unions, and NGOs, including La Voie est Libre, GNSA, CGT, Sud, Greenpeace, XR, LFI, NPA, Amis de la Terre, and FSU, have called for this day of protest. Members of Parliament from La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) are participating in the protest, along with elected officials from towns along the planned A69 highway route. Before the march began, dozens of cyclists arrived from Castres on their bicycles. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free) and other opponents are demanding that construction of the highway be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriations for farmers have not been settled. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles expected per day and would cost significantly less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would destroy habitats for more than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.

Gendarmes Mobiles are currently protesting the commencement of work in a protected woodland area in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 17, 2024. In these woods, which are on the route of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have established a Zone To Defend (ZAD) named 'Crem'Arbre' and individuals referred to as 'Ecureuils' are living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Gendarmes Mobiles are intervening to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees occupied by the 'Ecureuils' to block the delivery of supplies from sympathizers. MP Karen Erodi attempted to enter the ZAD but was blocked by the Gendarmes Mobiles, despite it being illegal to block a Member of Parliament in France. The riot police have also intervened multiple times to block the railway between Toulouse and Castres and have used tear gas canisters to intimidate protesters, as the protest is taking place on private land. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' is demanding that construction of the highway be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The issue of expropriations for farmers has not yet been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less costly. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would result in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.

Activists are gathering in the fields near the ZAD, known as 'Crem'Arbre', in the woods near Semalens in the Tarn Department, France, on February 10, 2024. They are protesting against the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. Swedish ecological activist Greta Thunberg is participating in the weekend event called 'Cabanacade', which is organized to call activists and sympathizers to build huts for 'Ecureuils' (squirrels) who live in the trees to prevent their cutting. Thunberg is speaking out against the project, highlighting its potential to harm the quality of life for residents and destroy nature and agricultural fields. Riot police, known as 'Gendarmerie Mobile', are intervening and using tear gas to intimidate protesters, as the protest is taking place on private lands. The collective 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free) is demanding that construction of the highway be halted until all judicial decisions are made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less expensive.

Hundreds of people are protesting in Trino Vercellese, Italy, on February 3, 2024, against the municipality's attempt to nominate itself as a potential location for the national nuclear waste disposal site. Although Trino Vercellese houses one of the four former Italian nuclear power plants, it was not included in the Italian government's list of potential locations. However, there is now a 30-day period during which municipalities not listed in the National Charter of Eligible Areas (Cnai) can present their self-nomination to host the depot.
