"Constitutional Tribunal"

11 December 2025

A 'Ecureuil' (i.e., squirrel) places a banner at the top of a tree near the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse. It quotes an article of constitutional law that reads, 'Everyone must take part in the preservation and improvement of the environment'. A final hearing on the legality of the environmental authorizations for the planned highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres takes place in the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse, France, on December 11, 2025. Plaintiffs against the A69 ask the court to nullify all environmental authorizations given for the A69 project. Opponents gather in front of the Administrative Court of Appeal during the hearings. They argue that this highway is not legally sound, that NGE/Atosca (builders) do not respect even their own documents about ecological compensations, and there are issues of violence against opponents and non-compliance with regulations. NGE/Atosca and the Minister of Ecology plead that this highway is 'necessary by nature' and that the first decision of the Administrative Court to scrap the authorizations is an 'anomaly'. The verdict will be given on December 30, 2025. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') wants the building of the highway to be stopped until all judicial 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.

Brazilian expats and Berliners protest in front of the Brazilian Embassy against a project of constitutional reform and a legislative initiative of amnesty in Berlin, Germany, on September 21, 2025. The Brazilian parliament deals with a constitutional amendment known as the Shielding Project (Projeto de Emenda Constitucional da Blindagem, renamed by protesters as 'da Bandidagem' or 'of Banditry'), which requires Congress to authorize any criminal charges against deputies and senators through a secret vote. This week, Brazil's Chamber of Deputies, with a conservative majority, approves a parliamentary initiative that extends immunity for legislators and an amnesty project that could benefit far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced by the Supreme Federal Tribunal to 27 years in prison for coup-plotting.
