A protected standalone tree is on a construction site for the A69 highway. Before the works begin, this tree is on a meadow. After the Administrative Court of Toulouse decides to suspend all works on the A69 project highway between Toulouse and Castres, NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the Court to allow the works to continue during the time the appeal is judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69. They state they want to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca claims all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structures do not match the numbers given by Atosca. Additionally, several problems plague the work, such as water evacuation and protection of species. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents, want the building of the highway to stop until all judicial decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say 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 will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.

An unfinished bridge stands on the A69 construction site near Saix, Tarn. The Administrative Court of Toulouse decides to suspend all works on the A69 highway project between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the Court to allow the works to continue during the appeal process. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69, aiming to bypass the Court's decision. Atosca claims that all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structures do not match the numbers provided by Atosca. Additionally, several issues affect the work, such as water evacuation and species protection. The main association, 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), opposes the project and wants the construction to stop until all judicial decisions are made. Expropriations for farmers are not yet resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would suffice for the planned 6,000 vehicles per day and would cost significantly less. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields face destruction.

A 'Black Rebel' is standing behind a banner reading 'Shining flame'. Several collectives, including Attac, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Stop Total, and Extinction Rebellion, are organizing a protest action against ArcelorMittal, the giant steel producer. This is part of a global campaign against ArcelorMittal called 'Shiny claims, dirty flames'. ArcelorMittal is sponsoring the France 2024 Olympic Games and is also the maker of the Olympic torch. However, the different collectives are reminding that ArcelorMittal has promised to invest $1.5 billion in mitigating its CO2 emissions between 2021 and 2023 but has only used $500 million. At the same time, ArcelorMittal is distributing $11 billion to shareholders. Activists are also denouncing the pollution (air, soil, water) caused by ArcelorMittal's mining activities and its disdain for human rights. In Toulouse, France, on May 17, 2024.
