For a fourth consecutive day, farmers are maintaining pressure on the main roads around Paris. Tractors surround the capital, in response to the call from the FNSEA and Young Farmers unions.
Tension rose a notch on Wednesday evening with the first arrests of demonstrators who wanted to block the Rungis market. 91 people were arrested at the end of the afternoon after an intrusion into the wholesale market, where “degradations” were committed. The convoy leaving Agen, arriving near the market in the evening, packed up this Thursday morning under pressure from the police.
