00:29The Kodad is mobilizing today

00:31against the systematic destruction

00:33of the trees in Tours.

00:35Today, 38 trees will be cut down

00:37here in Place des Halles

00:39and it adds up to the minimum

00:41of 1,200 trees that were cut down

00:43on the construction site of the tramway.

00:45We, the people of Kodad, are going up

00:47into the trees in a peaceful

00:49and non-violent way

00:51to oppose the cutting down of these trees.

00:53Quite simply, we are non-violent,

00:55we are citizens,

00:57certainly outraged,

00:59nevertheless.

01:07We did several studies

01:09trying to keep the trees

01:11and we realized

01:13that it was absolutely impossible

01:15and that it was better

01:17to put the trees back

01:19in an orderly way

01:21to allow a good circulation

01:23in the stages of the arch

01:25and above all to have a perfectly flat

01:27because most of the roots of the trees

01:29formed promontories

01:31that did not allow people

01:33to circulate correctly,

01:35among other things with the market booths

01:37and which, in addition, obviously

01:39bothered all our merchants

01:41of the market.

01:43And so it was decided to remove

01:45the 38 trees as well as those

01:47that are around the square

01:49of the Halles building

01:51and we are planting 42

01:53but they will be well placed

01:55to allow people to circulate,

01:57among other things,

01:59disabled people in the same way

02:01and that it allows to have

02:03something completely coherent

02:05and valid.
