Opponents of the Toulouse-Castres motorway camped in a wood threatened by the construction site of the highway project. Dozens of police officers completely surrounded the trees on Saturday evening, in Saïx (Tarn) 18 activists still occupy the cabins, according to Thomas Digard, from the Voie est libre collective, present on site.
Police “installed searchlights last night. They threw tear gas grenades and they took turns regularly,” he added. Atosca, the concessionaire designated by the State, considers that it has the right to resume tree cutting.
