A majority of farmers followed the slogan of the FNSEA and the JA, in the majority, to lift the blockages after a series of concessions.


The essential

  • 400 million euros were announced on Thursday in the hope of getting tractors onto farms, according to government figures.

    After multiple meetings with trade union organizations in recent days.

  • Among the conditions set by FNSEA and JA for not resuming the movement: “first results” before the Agricultural Show (February 24-March 3) then the adoption of a law on agricultural orientation and future as well as European measures by June.

  • Thursday evening, signs of relaxation increased, notably with the departure of farmers from the dams which cut off the A6 at the Villefranche-sur-Saône toll station north of Lyon or the A81 between Le Mans and Brittany.

    But all the blockages are not yet lifted.

  • For its part, the Peasant Confederation called for “continued mobilization” because “the fundamental question of income” is “still not tackled head-on by the government” according to it.

Very slow decline of dams

In the evening, the prefectures reported lifting of blockades almost everywhere in the country, or at the very least reductions, even if occasional blockages persisted, according to Matignon.

At the national level on Thursday evening, we noted a "very slow decline" in the dams, a police source told AFP, even if "we should not interpret this slowness other than as a bit of a weapons vigil." and communion of farmers who fought for ten days to obtain guarantees.”

        Extinguishing the agricultural crisis

        Yesterday, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal made a third series of announcements in a week to extinguish the agricultural crisis.
