The RN20 in Ariège, Occitanie, is closed in both directions for at least three months due to a major, exceptionally large landslide. This closure isolates the valley, making the train the sole vital link for residents and businesses. Local officials express anger and concern, demanding explanations from the state, while railway unions are facing accusations of a "criminal" strike, which they are refuting. Commuters are experiencing significant delays and frustration with SNCF services, highlighting the severe disruption caused by the road closure and its impact on alternative transportation.
