The mobilization continues, and with it its share of blockages.
Despite concessions from Paris and Brussels, anger did not subside on Wednesday evening among the farmers who maintained the pressure on the highways and around Rungis, where dozens of them were arrested after a brief coup.
In France, this Wednesday evening, more than 150 gatherings were recorded, with 8,500 demonstrators for around 5,500 vehicles, according to a police source.
In Île-de-France, seven motorway blockages were counted and two processions for fewer than 1,000 participants and as many vehicles, according to a police source.
Access to Paris is not impossible, but requires significant detours.
“Convoys of tractors have been reported to reinforce the existing blockages in the four Ile-de-France departments,” indicates the DNRT (National Directorate of Territorial Intelligence) which, in a note that we were able to consult, takes stock of the situation.
