A woman holds a flag reading 'LGV no thanks' during the gathering. Several associations, such as 'Amis de la Terre' ('Friends of Earth'), Stop-LGV 47, Stop-LGV 33, and LGV-No Thanks, call for a gathering in front of the main railway station of Toulouse, the Matabiau train station, just before a hearing at the Administrative Court of Toulouse to contest the legality of environmental authorizations for the planned high-speed train between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The CNPN (National Council for the Protection of Nature) says the SNCF file to build this high-speed railway is inadequate, false, and incomplete. The Environmental Authority also says there is no research on alternatives for the LGV, which is a legal duty. Moreover, the projected price tag was initially estimated at EUR10 billion for 200 km, then EUR14 billion in 2021, and now the costs are estimated to exceed EUR20 billion. The EU will not provide any funding. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The works and the line will use more than 6,300 hectares of good soils, including 3,000 hectares of forests and 370 hectares of wetlands. This event takes place in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2025.

Members of the dissident black bloc of the LGBTTTIQA+ and pro-Palestinian community burn an Israeli flag during the Anti-Pride March in Mexico City, Mexico, on June 28, 2025. The march departs from the Auditorio metro station to the Israeli Embassy. This event is part of the commemoration of International LGBTTTIQA+ Pride Day. The protest opposes the capitalization of this date and the false narrative of alliances promoted by corporations and media outlets through advertising and marketing campaigns, which ignore the true cause and fail to fight to eradicate discrimination, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, and the violence they face daily.
