Farmers blocked the A62 motorway on Tuesday, where traffic has been interrupted since 6 p.m. for around 70 km between Agen and Montauban, four days before the opening of the Agricultural Show, announced Vinci Autoroutes.
The action began in the middle of the afternoon and
“the situation could continue”
, specifies the manager of this axis linking Bordeaux to Toulouse in a press release.
New announcements expected Wednesday
At the end of January, the Lot-et-Garonne Rural Coordination had already blocked the A62 near Agen for almost a week, before breaking camp to improvise a convoy towards the Rungis market, south of Paris .
The government tried at the end of January to appease farmers with a series of announcements, but actions are increasing on the ground to obtain the first results before the opening of the Agricultural Show.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal is due to devote a press conference on Wednesday morning to the agricultural crisis.
