The operation is intended to be “symbolic and peaceful”.

The police then made 66 arrests.
The demonstration, undeclared, was therefore “illegal”, as recalled by the Minister for Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, on Sud Radio.
At the same time, a snail operation was launched on the A4, towards Paris.
The members of the 3rd agricultural union (neck and neck with the Peasant Confederation) want to continue to make their demands heard, almost a week after giving a stormy welcome to Emmanuel Macron at the Agricultural Show.

What to also remember
Thousands of Russians pay tribute to Navalny.
The funeral of the Russian opponent, who died in prison on February 16, takes place this Friday in Moscow.
The ceremony was initially scheduled to take place the day before, but Vladimir Putin chose this date to deliver his major general policy speech.
Thousands of people gathered to pay tribute to the opponent, but the Kremlin warned against any “unauthorized” demonstration.
The police are present in very large numbers, surveillance cameras have been installed everywhere, as well as metal fences.
After days of negotiations, the Russian government finally agreed to hand over the body of Alexei Navalny to his family.
