Gabriel Attal’s announcements, Thursday February 1, seem to have convinced farmers even if certain blockages continue into the evening. What is the situation ?
In Villefranche-sur-Saône (Rhône), dismantling begins, farmers pack up. Mobilization is not “finished” but only “suspended”. They decided to end the blockade. Some people don’t understand this decision. “I am very disappointed”testifies a farmer. “We had to at least hold on until tomorrow, the politicians are much smarter than us.” After refueling in Essonne, the tractors of the convoy from Lot-et-Garonne turned back towards Agen, despite themselves.
The Agricultural Show in sight
But others announce that they will maintain the blockages on Thursday evening, particularly in the Paris suburbs on the A6 and the A1. “Words are good, writings are better”, says a farmer. Here, government announcements are not enough. In Yvelines, some young farmers even organize to spend the night there. Disappointed or satisfied by the measures announced, everyone says they are ready to remobilize if the commitments are not kept, with their sights set on the Agricultural Show in the capital from February 24.
