Angry farmers: leader holds his breath, waiting to see what happens next

A day after Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s long-awaited announcements to try to calm the farm uprising, the executive appears to be holding its breath this weekend, fearing a possible renewed anger from Monday 29 January. While dozens of roadblocks had been lifted across France, this Saturday afternoon there were still 38 in 28 departments.
