The rebels trapped in their own strategy: the deputies approved on Monday a motion of rejection LFI against a reborn text intended to legally ensure the site of the A69, with the effect of accelerating the legislative course of the text by sending it directly before a mixed commission of the deputies-senators.
The motion of rejection was approved unanimously, the groups of the common base and the extreme right joining their voices with those of LFI, despite itself.
The Rapporteur Jean Terlier (Renaissance) supported the motion, invoking “the obstruction” of France and rebel environmentalists, authors of almost all the more than 700 amendments deposited, including just over 230 declared admissible. The government gave him an “opinion of wisdom” (neither for nor against).
Last week, the deputies of the common base and the RN, in a quite close tactic, adopted a motion of rejection against the proposal of Dupomb-Menonville about the limitations that weigh on the farmer’s profession, to accelerate the debates and send the text to the joint committee. The motion had been filed by the text timer, Julien Dive (LR).
“The spray spray”
“Now the motion of rejection in 49.3 parliamentarians has been twice that the president of the LFI group, Mathilde Panot, threatening to seize the Constitutional Council for the violation of the” sincerity of the debates “and the” right of amendment. ” However, the MP of Val-de-Marne considered that the government’s coalition “offered a victory” to the rebels “, since the only vote of the National Assembly in the A69 was to reject this text.”
“It is the spray sprayer,” Jean Terlier replied. “Next time, he will reflect twice before depositing a motion of rejection and more than 700 amendments,” said the deputy of Tarn, remembering that the text obtained “a broad vote” during his exam in the committee.
According to the sources of the environmental and social group, the latter asked the LFI group to withdraw its motion of rejection, without convincing it.
But Deputy Eelv Christine Arright said she understood LFI’s election, which, according to her, was a “way of demonstrating that together for the Republic (the Macronista Group of Gabriel Attal, an editor’s note) diverts the” parliamentary “procedure.
LFI and environmentalists denounce “another passage in force”
The text carried by Jean Terlier, already adopted in the Senate, aims to confer on the road construction site that must link Castres and Toulouse an “imperative reason for the important public interest”, racing the way for the exemptions of species protection, in the name of the opening of the territory.
By retroactively validating environmental authorizations, it could avoid a possible possible job stop.
The Administrative Court of Appeals certainly authorized that they resume, “in mid -June” according to the Government, but has only spoken in an emergency appeal of the State, and must still decide on merits in several months.
At the opening of Monday’s session, Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot stressed “the particular importance” of text “for territorial development”, as well as for the “legal security of our great infrastructure”, while issuing in the Senate an opinion of wisdom about the substance (or for nor against).
On the contrary, environmental and rebel deputies, such as Anne Stambach-Strranair (LFI), see it as “another current passage for this absurd highway project that literally runs along a national route that one could have rebuilt”, and a will to “crush a legal decision” that had invalidal environmental authorizations.
A mobilization around the site in early July
The A69 initially was put into service at the end of 2025, according to the Atosca company, in charge of the work, but the deadline cannot be respected. To finish the site, the company must repatriate in the Tarn one thousand employees and many devices.
For their part, opponents organize themselves. A great mobilization is called on July 4, 5 and 6 near the site.
A symbolic action also took place on Monday morning near the assembly: an activist of the National Tree Surveillance Group (GNSA) briefly perched on a tree, displaying banners, such as “not to the validation law” or “stop in the A69”.
