Anger of farmers: on the blocking points, Gabriel Attal’s announcements divide – (France 2)
Friday January 26, the Prime Minister announced the start of a new method for farmers. How did the demonstrators present at the blockade points react to the announcements?
From their blocking points on busy highways throughout France, farmers awaited concrete responses from the government on Friday January 26. On the A64, the epicenter of the movement, opinions differ. Some welcome the government’s responsiveness, others wait. On the A13, in the Paris region, it is difficult to see clearly after the Prime Minister’s announcements. “We lack concrete details, we will see in the coming weeks how all this will apply”estimates a farmer.
Some want to continue the protest
In Oise, on the A1, these new announcements are sparking debate between farmers. Some want to break camp, while others want to continue the protest. “Basically, I think we haven’t made much progress”, declares a demonstrator. Will the fight continue? In the minds of certain Ile-de-France farmers, Paris remains the number 1 objective. In several cities, other blocking points are lifted in the evening.
