A man holds a placard reading 'Ransacking'. Between 1,000 and 1,500 people gather in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2024, against a non-administrative court ruling of the Administrative Court against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The judge decides to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision. Plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads, among other things, that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. 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.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico, during his penultimate press conference in Mexico City, Mexico, on September 27, 2024, at the National Palace, before handing over the presidential sash to President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum on October 1, 2024. Since coming to power on December 1, 2018, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador uses this format to communicate directly with the audience, but his detractors claim that it is a propaganda system.
