A woman holds a placard reading 'LGV no thanks'. Several associations, such as 'Amis de la Terre' ('Friends of Earth'), Stop-LGV 47, Stop-LGV 33, and LGV-No Thanks, call for a gathering in front of the main railway station of Toulouse, the Matabiau train station, just before a hearing at the Administrative Court of Toulouse to contest the legality of environmental authorizations for the planned high-speed train between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The CNPN (National Council for the Protection of Nature) says the SNCF file to build this high-speed railway is inadequate, false, and incomplete. The Environmental Authority also says there is no research on alternatives for the LGV, which is a legal duty. Moreover, the projected price tag was initially estimated at EUR10 billion for 200 km, then EUR14 billion in 2021, and now the costs are estimated to exceed EUR20 billion. The EU will not provide any funding. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The works and the line will use more than 6,300 hectares of good soil, including 3,000 hectares of forests and 370 hectares of wetlands. This takes place in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2025.

9 June 2024

The black bloc is going to an objective of the protest. Nearly 5,000 people are participating in a weekend of action called 'Roue Libre' in the Tarn department against the decried highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres. The farmers' union, Confederation Paysanne, is planting trees and seeds on a portion of a field that will be destroyed by the A69 highway. Several political parties, unions, and NGOs (Attac, LVEL, Confederation Paysanne, GNSA, XR, etc.) are calling for this weekend of protest. Police are trying to block the exit from the camp to protesters. Several corteges are taking place and going to different places. Protesters are trying to reach several objectives and are being blocked by 1,200 gendarmes mobiles (riot police), two helicopters, two armored vehicles, and a deluge of tear gas canisters and explosive grenades. More than 20 protesters are being injured by riot police, and two are being driven to the hospital due to their injuries. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') is wanting the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers aren't cleared. Opponents of this project are saying that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway is costing EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields are being destroyed. This is happening in Puylaurens, Tarn, France, on June 8, 2024.
