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. The A69 highway project, estimated at EUR512 million in 2018 euros excluding inflation for 54 kilometers, threatens to destroy over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.

A protester lies with remnants of tear gas canistersProtesters decided to create a ZAD (Zone To Defend) in a farm 'La Cremade' nearby before being violently dislodged by 1200 gendarmes mobiles (riot police), two helicopters, 2 armored vehicles and a deluge of tear gas canisters. After the expulsion, protesters cleaned all the fields of tear gas canisters and drawed the symbol of the collective 'Les soulevements de la Terre' (ie Earth uprising'). Nearly 10 000 people participated to a week end of action called 'Ramdam sur le Macadam' in the Tarn department against the decried highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres. Several corteges took place and went to different places. Police tried at several moments to block the access to the camp at protestors even during the cortege. Several political parties, unions, ngos called to this week-end of protest. The main assocation 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free'), opponents 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. Saix. Tarn.
