As a woman speaks into a microphone, a man holds a placard reading, ''The LGV doesn't reduce global warming, it puts on fire my rage.'' Several associations, such as 'Amis de la Terre' (i.e., '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 is initially estimated at EUR10bn for 200 km, then EUR14bn (in 20214), and now, the costs are estimated to exceed EUR20bn. 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 ha of good soils, of which 3,000 ha are forests and 370 ha are wetlands. This takes place in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2025.

An opponent disguised as a friar tries to extinguish a fire caused by a tear gas canister near the work site of the A69. Opponents to the planned A69 highway gather in the Tarn department in Maurens-Scopont, France, on July 6, 202, for a weekend of protests called 'Turboteuf' in the domain of the Maurens-Scopont castle. After protesters try to break into the work site to reach a bridge, riot policemen and protesters scuffle. Riot police use volleys of tear gas canisters. The decision of the Cour d'Appel Administrative (Administrative Court of Appeal) of Toulouse greenlights the resumption of leveling works on the A69 highway. The Administrative Court of Toulouse decides on February 27 to suspend all works on the A69 project highway between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the Court to let the works continue during the time the appeal is judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department put to vote a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69. They say they want to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca says all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structure are not close to the numbers given by Atosca. Moreover, several problems plague the work, such as water evacuation and protection of species. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') wants the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. 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.
