Description
Opponents of the A69 motorway, currently under construction between Castres and Toulouse, intend to gather ‘several tens of thousands’ of demonstrators on site this weekend, despite the ban imposed by the government, which will mobilise a thousand police and gendarmes. "We will be stepping up our security measures, not only for our staff - that's what we're already planning - but also for our vehicles and our sites," explains Martial Gerlinger, Managing Director of Atosca, the future motorway concession holder and operator of the construction site.
