For almost two weeks, they held their blockade on the highways. They even went so far as to celebrate Christmas there. Like near Carbonne (Haute-Garonne), where more than 300 people responded. “Tonight is a special evening for families, it’s Christmas, but also for the agricultural world, because we will have held a Christmas mass under a motorway bridge. The agricultural situation is really critical”declared one of those mobilized.
It is to denounce the systematic and large-scale slaughter of herds affected by lumpy skin disease that breeders have mobilized. Since the start of the blockages, several delegations of farmers have spoken with the authorities.
Common ground has even been found in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. As a result, on the 64, the blockades located in Pau and Urt must be lifted this midday. However, others remain active in the South-West. This is the case in Carbonne. The unions plan to meet in the coming days to decide what action to take on the protest movement.
