Karen Erodi, an MP, is walking near the railroad after being blocked by riot police from accessing the woods in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 17, 2024. In these woods, opponents of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres have established a Zone To Defend (ZAD) named 'Crem'Arbre.' Activists, referred to as 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels'), are living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) have intervened to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees occupied by the 'Ecureuils' to block their supplies of food and water from sympathizers. Despite it being illegal to block an MP in France, Karen Erodi has attempted to enter the ZAD but was unsuccessful due to the blockade by the Gendarmes Mobiles. The riot police have also intervened several times to block the railway between Toulouse and Castres and have used tear gas canisters to intimidate protesters, as the protest is taking place on private lands. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' ('The Way is Free') is demanding that the construction of the highway be halted until all judicial decisions are made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would cost significantly less. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would result in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.
