The essential
The blockades around the capital, announced on Sunday by the FNSEA and Young Farmers unions, were put in place on Monday from 2 p.m. and throughout the afternoon.
We take stock.
Gérald Darmanin announced “an important defensive system to prevent any blockage” of the Rungis market and Ile-de-France airports and “to prohibit any entry into Paris”.
As of Monday evening, the market and the gates of the capital had not yet been reached by the demonstrators.
The government announced that 15,000 members of the police would be mobilized to prevent tractors from entering “Paris and major cities”.
The first salvo of announcements from Gabriel Attal, who received the unions yesterday, made in Haute-Garonne on Friday was deemed insufficient.
New announcements will be made today by the government, announced Prisca Thevenot at the end of the Council of Ministers.
