According to an intelligence note that Europe 1 was able to consult, the anger of farmers whets the appetites of protest movements. Ultra-left, ultra-right and radical environmental movements are waiting for only one thing: for farmers to open the doors of their tractors to them. 

Europe 1 revealed this on Tuesday, a few hours before Gabriel Attal's general policy speech, through an intelligence note: the authorities' fears regarding the anger of farmers are numerous. And the situation did not improve with the Prime Minister's grand speech, considered "blah" by some demonstrators. But this note also reveals something else: if the farmers' anger does not leave the highest levels of the State indifferent, who even describe the movement as unprecedented, we also learn that it whets other appetites.

Blockages: farmers are tightening their grip on Paris, negotiations continue

A movement that remains airtight

Indeed, according to this document, the protest movements, namely the ultra-right, the ultra-left and the radical environmental movements, are only waiting for one thing, for the tractor processions to open their doors to them. This would allow them to challenge national and European modes of administrative governance in particular. But for now, this note, obtained by Europe 1, concludes that the farmers' movement is doing everything to preserve its positive image among the population and remains tight-lipped about bringing other corporations to bear on its professional issues.
