“Avoiding a financial abyss for the State and for our taxes”: opposition to the Montpellier-Perpignan high-speed rail line project will not weaken in 2025

ALT continuera d’être particulièrement attentive au projet de LGV. Midi Libre – JEAN MICHEL MART

L'association ALT, toujours vent debout contre la ligne à grande vitesse, assure qu'elle continuera de se battre en 2025 pour que ce projet soit réinterrogé en profondeur.

Having been mobilised for many months in opposition to the New Montpellier-Perpignan Line (LNMP) project, the ALT association held its general meeting at the end of January. A session during which the collective chaired by Felix Caron announced that it was continuing “its work to raise awareness among citizens of the Thau basin” and “monitoring the project currently under consideration, particularly concerning environmental impacts”.

Against the viaduct project in Poussan and the reduction in TGVs in Sète

This mainly concerns the construction of a 1.4 km, 25-metre-high viaduct in Poussan, and the 2,772 hectares of natural spaces affected by the project. But the stakes are also economic, with the 80% reduction in TGVs at Sète station, or the disappearance of 10% of the Picpoul de Pinet vineyard.

“Reexamine the LGV line project in its entirety”

Since the current railway line is doomed to disappear completely in the coming years, due to coastal erosion, ALT also announces “to broaden its scope of action”, not only so that the route of the new line is modified, “but so that the LGV line project is reexamined in its entirety, in line with the letter that the mayors of the Thau basin sent to the Prime Minister”.

In addition, ALT, whose office now has around fifteen active members, will propose reflections on the conditions to be met so that the new line project “is not a financial abyss for the State and for our taxes”, but also so that they allow “to improve the daily mobility of the inhabitants of Hérault and the Pyrénées-Orientales”.
