The measures announced by the government and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal last Friday apparently did not convince all farmers, quite the contrary. After the demonstrations, which were held mainly in the regions and quite far from the big cities, angry farmers decided to intensify their actions.

Paris and the Renji market are within sight of the demonstrators, and to be heard farmers intend to block access points. Traffic in the Paris region promises to be even more difficult than usual this week, with the Young Farmers of Ile-de-France reporting heavy traffic jams.

All highways leading to Paris were affected

The mobilization, coordinated by young farmers, promises to be intense, with major highways such as the A1, A4, A5, A6, A10, A13, A15 and A16 blocked in both directions of traffic. All highways leading to the capital were affected. National roads in the Paris region will also be affected, and surprises are not excluded, some sources even mention the possibility of an operation to block the Paris ring road. Cyril Millard, president of the Seine and Marne FDSEA, warned about this in the media “it will be a complete blockade”.
To respond to this threat, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanen has anticipated this mobilization by deploying thousands of soldiers to prevent agricultural machinery from entering urban areas, particularly Runge, where demonstrators intend to get as close as possible. to the nerve centers. In general, about 15,000 policemen and gendarmes were mobilized this Monday.

Farmers are joined by other professions

In addition to the actions planned in Ile-de-France, other blocking operations of this scale are also planned by farmers in other regions of France. At the same time, other professions are planning to join the farmers. In particular, taxis have started operating permanently on some roads in the Paris region, while “free tolls” were introduced this morning on some motorways in Savoie.

Thus, the week promises to be very difficult on the roads in the Paris region, as well as around the big cities.
