Jos Rodrigues-Lalande, viticulteur à Castres (Gironde), a été tiré du sommeil vers 4 heures du matin par le bruit d'engins. Le propriétaire de la parcelle située à Beautiran accuse les entreprises travaillant sur le chantier de la future LGV Bordeaux-Toulouse d'avoir installé des campements sur ses terres sans prévenir.
Le 14 octobre dernier, plusieurs engins se sont rassemblés sur sa parcelle durant la nuit. Des militants d'opposition au projet ont également participé aux opérations.
In Castres and Beautiran, vineyard owners denounced massive deforestation carried out every month as part of the contested railway project linking Bordeaux to Toulouse.
Two local residents also intervened on their own land to block the machines, claiming not to have been warned of the operations.
The LGV Sud-Ouest project crosses an industrial zone in Lot-et-Garonne where several vehicles have already been burned.
