This Thursday, the No Autoroutes Castres-Toulouse (PACT), Stop Carrières Montcabrier 81 collectives and the Mayors against the motorway, call for mobilization against the motorway project of 62 kilometers which should link Castres to Toulouse.
This mobilization takes place within the framework of the National Day against the re-intoxication of the world. The objective is to form, on Saturday April 17, a human chain along the RN 126, at the location of the motorway route, then to establish a “symbolic toll” on the road to Teulat, at the border between the department. Tarn and Haute-Garonne. For those who wish to participate, the appointment is given at 2 p.m. in the town of Teulat. Everyone must have a special travel certificate. About twenty other actions are planned for the same day throughout the country.
Opposition to the overall project
“The Castres-Toulouse motorway project is outdated. Old from 2007, it dates from before the pandemic, economic, financial and social crises and ignores climate change ”explain the groups in their call to demonstrate. This site was nevertheless declared “of public utility” in 2018. A year ago, the State officially launched the procedure for concessioning the A69.
Only, during last summer, opponents of the project discovered that three quarries should be installed on the agricultural lands of the municipalities of Saint-Germain-des-Près, Montcabrier and Villeneuve-lès-Lavaur to meet the supply needs of Highway. However, these were not taken into account when carrying out the project impact study. Today, the collectives denounce the “illegality” of these methods.
