Angry farmers: “It will be a total blockade”, what are the demonstrators planning this Monday ?

Un blocus “total” est prévu à Paris ce lundi 29 janvier. MAXPPP – D TOUCHART

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal made several announcements this Friday, January 26, to make farmers' daily lives easier. However, the latter intend to make the movement last.

The numerous measures proposed by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal have clearly not convinced the farmers who, after several days of demonstrations throughout France, intend to completely block Paris. Indeed, if most of the blockades were lifted this weekend, this lull seems temporary since the discontent should start again this Monday, January 28. Here's what's planned in the capital:

Highway blocking

From the beginning of the afternoon, demonstrators were planning to organize blockades within a radius of 30 to 40 kilometers around Paris, indicates Le Parisien. If the FNSEA and the Young Farmers have opted for a blockade of "indeterminate duration" at&#39 ;organization "quasi-military", this mobilization was called "siege of Paris" by the organizers.

"The objective is not to annoy the population but to get answers from the government, which’ ;it goes further in the measures already taken", recalls Clément Torpier, the president of the Young Farmers of Île-de-France at the microphone of BFM. "It will be a total blockade", warns Cyrille Milard, his counterpart at the FNSEA of Seine-et-Marne. The blockages should be spread across the A1, A4, A5, A6, A12, A13 and A15 motorways.

15,000 members of the police as reinforcements

"The departments will take turns" and "in turn& quot;, tractors from different departments "will take the road to go to Paris", indicates Lucie Delbarre, FDSEA general secretary of Pas-de-Calais. On the other hand, farmers will be vigilant so that residents of the Ile-de-France region do not have to make four-hour detours. We don't want to annoy people, that's our objective", assures Frédéric Arnoult vice-president of the FDSEA Île-de-France, at the microphone of TF1

To try to anticipate the blockage, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, chaired an interministerial cell on January 28 at 6 p.m. of crisis. He announced that 15,000 members of the police would be mobilized this Monday, January 29 to "secure" the blockages. He specified that the latter will intervene and carry out "arrests" in the event of damage and attacks by foreign trucks.
