5 October 2025

Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, a France Unbowed MP, participates in the march. As the Global Sumud Flotilla is stopped by Israel and their members are put in jail, in Toulouse, France, on October 4, 2025, people take to the streets to demand the liberation of all people from the flotilla detained in Israel and to denounce the current Israeli onslaught in Gaza. Five French MPs from the France Unbowed party, including Francois Piquemal (a Toulouse MP), and the leader of the CGT union of Haute-Garonne are arrested and detained in Israel. Several hundred protesters participate in the march. The last gathering called by the CGT, FSU, and SUD unions is violently attacked by riot police on October 2, as the Prefect decides to forbid the gathering and the march one and a half hours before the beginning. Riot police charge and clash violently with peaceful protesters and unionists using tear gas and pepper spray. The Israeli onslaught in Gaza is deemed 'genocide' by the CPI and several NGOs such as Amnesty International, HRW, and PHR. Israel crosses all the red lines of humanitarian laws and even laws of war. No meaningful humanitarian assistance is delivered to Gaza since March 2, and a UN-related global hunger monitor warns that more than a million people face starvation in Gaza. Now more than 500 Palestinians die of human-made starvation. Since October 7, 2023, nearly 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli army.

MP Anne Stambach-Terrenoir stands in front of police officers. Called by all trade unions united, dozens of thousands of people take to the streets in Toulouse, France, on September 10, against Macron's economic policies after a day called 'Bloquons tout' (Block everything). It launches at the beginning of the summer on social networks against Macron's policies: downsizing the welfare state to cut taxes for businesses, increasing the Defense budget and Interior Ministry, and his choice of conservative Sebastien Lecornu as the new Prime Minister. His pro-business stance angers French people who blockade everywhere in France on September 10. Riot police are ordered to show no tolerance towards blockades and use volleys of tear gas canisters. After blockading, people come to protest and scuffle with riot police in Toulouse, France, on September 18, 2025.

French MP Anne Stambach-Terrenoir (LFI - France Unbowed) tries to speak to a police officer. Called by all trade unions united, dozens of thousands of people take to the streets in Toulouse, France, on September 10, against Macron's economic policies after a day called 'Bloquons tout' (Block everything). It launches at the beginning of the summer on social networks against Macron's politics: downsizing the welfare state to cut taxes for businesses, rising the Defense budget and Interior Ministry, and his choice of conservative Sebastien Lecornu as the new Prime Minister. His pro-business stance angers French people who blockade everywhere in France on September 10. Riot police receive orders to be without any tolerance towards blockades and use volleys of tear gas canisters.

18 February 2025

MP Anne Stambach-Terrenoir speaks to people. People gather in Toulouse, France, on February 18, 2025, as plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca. The last hearing (in theory) against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway takes place at the Administrative Court of Toulouse. In December, surprising everyone, the judge decides to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision on the content. 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, as did before the 'Rapporteur Public.' The 'Rapporteur Public' sticks to her position that all environmental authorizations should be nullified, taking down the ''Major Imperative for Public Interest.'' If confirmed, it will stop the building of the A69 highway. 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 the inflation) for 54 kilometers.

A plane tree in Saix, France, is currently hosting an Ecureuil (in red) who is standing in the tree to prevent its cutting for the A69 highway. After spending 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils' have descended as the French Justice has ruled that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees cannot be cut until September 1st. Supporters, including members of LVEL, are gathering to welcome the Ecureuils back to the ground. Riot police are present to maintain order. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been surrounded by police for over a month. In Saix, Tarn, on the planned A69 highway route between Toulouse and Castres, activists established a ZAD named 'Crem'Arbre' to live in the trees and prevent their removal. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' is advocating for the highway project to be halted until all judicial decisions are finalized. 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 expensive. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 53 kilometers, and its construction would result in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land. The photo was taken in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 24, 2024.

After 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils' (squirrels) living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD (Zone To Defend) are climbing down as the French Justice has recognized that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees should not be cut until September 1st. People, sympathizers, and LVEL members are coming to welcome the 'Ecureuils' on the ground. Riot police are present but only to avoid public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees have been besieged by police for more than a month. In Saix, Tarn, France, on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have installed a ZAD dubbed 'Crem'Arbre' and 'Ecureuils' are living in the trees to block their cutting. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free) wants the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions are given. All expropriations for farmers aren't cleared.

Reva, one of the three 'Ecureuils', is being welcomed on the ground for the first time in 37 days. After spending 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils' living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD (Zone To Defend) have climbed down following the French Justice's decision to protect the Crem'Arbre and prohibit the cutting of trees until September 1st. Supporters, sympathizers, and LVEL members are gathering to welcome the 'Ecureuils' back to the ground. Riot police are present but only to prevent public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been under siege by police for over a month.
