Organizers linked opposition to farmland and tree loss, climate impacts and the project’s public cost; supporters cited regional transport and economic needs. Estimates varied, and clashes occurred at the end of the mobilization. The event shows how infrastructure disputes become struggles over whose vision of regional development is treated as legitimate.
