Around 200 tractors left Limoges on the A20 towards Paris. They planned to pass through Orléans before arriving in Rungis “after 4 p.m.” The convoy was stopped on the highway by mobile gendarmes near Bessines-sur-Gartempe (Haute-Vienne) “They want to wear us out and try to slow us down.
It’s a good demonstration that they fear us,” said Thomas Hégarty, president of the agricultural union in this department.
