For four days and three nights, a man, Thomas Brail, is perched in a plane tree facing the Ministry of Ecological Transition to protest against cuts of trees planned in the city where he lives.
"I'm not ready to come down from this tree," he said Saturday. He intends to protest against cuts planned in Condom, in the Gers, where he says the municipality wants to cut down 25 plane trees of 120 years.
Slaughtering against the environmental code
According to this environmental activist, these tree felling would run counter to an article of the environmental code that prohibits the infringement of rows of trees or rows of trees along streets and streets. roads, unless they are sick, present a danger or exceptionally for work.
Attached thanks to a system of ropes, he sleeps in a hammock and is supplied with food. Thomas Brail is not his first attempt: he is already mounted in a tree in Condom to defend his point of view, but also Mazamet in the Tarn.
