Several thousand demonstrators are expected for a mobilization against the construction of a highway. The A69 motorway project, which should link Castres to Toulouse, is due to open in 2025.
Opponents of this highway denounce a project thought before the awareness of the impact of climate change. 800 police and gendarmes are mobilized to "ensure the security of the assembly and respond to any illegal act" The pre-fect of Tarn, François-Xavier Lauch, said Friday night that the 800 police will remain in the background if the demonstration is "peaceful"
