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.

Supporters of the 'squirrels' are protesting the construction of the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. As the controversial project continues, four arborist-climbers, nicknamed 'squirrels,' are currently on trial at the courthouse in Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024, for obstructing the felling of trees near Verfeuil by occupying them. Supporters have gathered to back the 'squirrels.' They have constructed a mock concrete wall where they have painted 'A69 won't be built' and set ablaze a faux globe. The 'squirrels' are striving to safeguard the remaining trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet demolished. NGE/ATOSCA is cutting down trees even though not all legal procedures have been resolved. 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), along with opponents and Thomas Brail, are demanding that the construction of the highway be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriation processes for farmers have not been finalized. Critics of the project argue that upgrading 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 a stretch of 54 kilometers, resulting in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of farmland.

Arborist-climbers, known as 'squirrels,' are currently on trial at the courthouse in Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024, for blocking the cutting of trees near Verfeuil in protest against the construction of the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. Supporters have gathered to back the 'squirrels' and have constructed a mock concrete wall where they are painting the slogan 'A69 won't be built' and burning a faux Earth. These activists aim to protect the remaining trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed. Despite ongoing legal proceedings, NGE/Atosca continues to cut down trees. Opponents of the highway, including 'La Voie est Libre' and Thomas Brail, are calling for a halt to construction until all judicial decisions are finalized, noting that not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved.

Supporters of the 'squirrels,' a group of arborist-climbers, are constructing a symbolic concrete wall near the Courthouse of Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024, as a protest against the ongoing construction of the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The 'squirrels' are currently on trial at the courthouse for obstructing the felling of trees near Verfeuil by occupying them. Sympathizers have gathered to show their support, creating a mock concrete wall where they are painting the message 'A69 won't be built' and burning a representation of the Earth. They aim to protect the remaining trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed. Despite ongoing legal proceedings, NGE/Atosca continues to cut down trees. The opposition group 'La Voie est Libre,' along with Thomas Brail, is calling for the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions are finalized, noting that not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Opponents argue that upgrading the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less costly.
