“Disorder”, “decisiveness”: farmers want to close the Toulouse highway for the whole weekend

“This is where the land of agricultural resistance begins. » It was this slogan, inscribed on huge bales of straw surrounded by black plastic and stacked on top of each other, that motorists driving on the A64 motorway between Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) and Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) have found since Thursday.

The rest after this announcement

It was at exit 27, towards Carbonne, that 250 farmers set up a roadblock on the A64 motorway, blocking traffic in both directions to “make the government heard.” » Straw bales, water tanks, toilets and a generator were placed on the asphalt among about fifty tractors to hold out the siege until Monday. About twenty farmers slept there on the night from Thursday to Friday under police surveillance. They are asking for a visit from the Prime Minister.
