Militant environmental activists are stepping up their fight in France. The construction of the A69 highway, which aims to connect Castres to Toulouse, has been met with escalating resistance from environmental activists. On June 8, thousands of demonstrators gathered near Puylaurens, defying a ban imposed at the request of Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
The protest, which saw participation from approximately 7,000 activists, was marked by fierce clashes with the police. Ambulances and doctors were repeatedly blocked entrance at police checkpoints, preventing them from assisting injured protesters.
The controversy surrounding the A69 project stems from its anticipated environmental impact. Critics, including leftist and environmental groups as well as scientists, argue that the 53-kilometer highway will lead to the destruction of wetlands, agricultural lands, trees, ecosystems, and aquifers. They contend that the highway's benefits, primarily aimed at reducing travel time, are negligible in comparison to the environmental costs.
Michel Forst, the UN Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders, visited the site recently and called for "immediate protective measures" for the activists. His intervention underscores the severity of the conflict and the international concern over the handling of environmental protests in France. Forst criticized France for having the worst record in Europe regarding police repression of environmental activists, highlighting the excessive use of force.
The A69 project, which began construction in 2023 and is expected to be operational by the end of 2025, is estimated to cost 450 million euros. ATOSCA, which was awarded the project, will profit immensely from the destruction.
