The main thing to remember
While Prime Minister Gabriel Attal is due to deliver his general policy speech to the National Assembly at 3 p.m., farmers began, Tuesday January 30, their second day of blocking strategic axes around Paris, determined to show that they can last several days if the “new measures” unveiled during the day by the government continue to disappoint.
A convoy of producers which left on Tuesday morning for Limoges, towards the national interest market (MIN) of Rungis, changed route after being blocked on the A20 by the gendarmes, according to the Rural Coordination which is leading the operation. Gendarmerie armored vehicles were deployed in Rungis but the convoy was slowed down several hundred kilometers from the capital in the early morning by police deployed on the roads, provoking the anger of farmers interviewed by media on board with tractors.
On the A1, the A4, the A6, the A13... farmers spent the night in their tractors after starting Monday afternoon to block motorways near the capital.
