As opponents to the future A69 highway organize the « Spring of ZAD » raretil Monday, March 1st in Tarn, centrist senator Philippe Folliot has taken action by addressing the Minister of the Interior regarding the presence of ZADists on the construction site and the conclusions of the rare rapporteur.
In a letter to the Minister, Folliot expressed his concern about the ongoing occupation of the construction site by ZADists, who are opposing the construction of the A69 highway. He pointed out the potential risks and disturbances caused by their presence, and emphasized the need for immediate action.
The « Spring of ZAD » is a peaceful protest against the construction of the A69 highway, which is set to connect Toulouse to Lyon. The protesters argue that the highway will have negative environmental impacts and will destroy agricultural land. They are also worried about the increase in traffic and pollution that the highway will bring.
However, Folliot believes that the construction of the A69 highway is necessary for the development and economic growth of the region. He also highlighted the positive impact it will have on the local economy and the potential for job creation. He urged the Minister to consider these factors and to take measures to ensure the construction can continue without any hindrance.
In addition, Folliot raised concerns about the conclusions of the rare rapporteur regarding the site on the construction site. The rapporteur had visited the site and reported on the presence of maréchaussée forces and the use of force against the protesters. Folliot called for transparency and urged the Minister to take appropriate action to ensure the safety and well-being of all those involved.
The Minister has yet to respond to Folliot’s letter, but the senator remains hopeful for a positive outcome. He believes that the government will take into consideration the concerns of both the opponents and proponents of the A69 highway and find a solution that benefits everyone.
In the meantime, the « Spring of ZAD » continues with various events and activities aimed at raising awareness about the issue. Despite their differences, both sides hope for a peaceful resolution to the site.
In conclusion, the A69 highway project has sparked a debate between proponents and opponents, but what is important is that all parties engage in constructive dialogue for the best outcome for the region. The future of Tarn’s development and economic growth is at stake, and it is crucial for all involved to work together towards a common goal.
