Tractors all over France. Farmers are expected this Wednesday in Bayonne and Pau (A63 and A64), around Lyon (M6, A47), on the A7 from Orange to Montélimar, between Valence and Grenoble (A49), between Saint-Amand-Montrond and Bourges (A71), on the Orléans ring road, and on or near many expressways in Brittany (notably the RN12).
A new meeting with the Prime Minister. After the FNSEA and the Young Farmers, the Rural Coordination and the Peasant Confederation left Gabriel Attal’s office on Tuesday evening without calling for the blockades to be lifted. The Rural Coordination judged the exchange “constructive” while the Peasant Confederation spoke of proposals “insufficient”.
The bereaved mobilization. An accident at a blockage in Ariège left two dead on Tuesday. A vehicle crashed into a wall of straw bales in the early morning, killing a farmer and her daughter. The father is seriously injured. An investigation has been opened.
