French Farmers

Putting a new thread up as it’s not just Montauban.
Today Tues 30th. Problems at Montauban, Castelsarrasin and Marmande.
Speculation in the press about problems Toulouse tomorrow?
Obviously best avoided, or traversed at off peak, but if you can’t then plan for delays.
Seems to be only Lot/Tarn/Garonne areas.

Just found this, up to date as of 14.10, scroll down to Toulouse and enlarge map, click on the ! and it will detail all the exit closures and enforced exits due to motorway closures

Nice one.
LaDepeche says there’s likely to be sudden blockades. As they’re upset with the Gov it’s likely to be spread around regional towns, I’d guess. No particular companies or sectors being targeted.

Any idea what they’re kicking off about?

Was stopped at a peage near Bordeaux last year by members of one of the French Unions, basically protesting about Macrons polices. It wasn’t a blockade though, they just stopped you as you got to the peage and handed a leaflet, oh and the peage was free. :smiley:

Something about reclassification of land? To do with subsidises for difficult terrain, I think. Also unhappy about TIP ? talks and Canada? Re the terrain I guess it’ll stay localised, but that’s me guessing!

I think there might be a lot of people unhappy about CETA and TTIP, but doesn’t seem high on the agencda of the main media outlets.

Confirmed for tomorrow, the Rocade (ring road) at Toulouse will have blockades tomorrow, starting in the morning. :cry: :angry:

Like any Rocade in the morning ! :angry: :angry: :angry:…edit to add

Or evening come to think of it !

Weds morn. LaDepeche reporting one or two hundred tractors on Toulouse ring road. They propose a picnic between 12 and 2. Expecting them to leave this evening. Nothing specific reported planned for later, but there’s talk of quick protests? Anyone’s guess. Only this region not national.

For the moment it’s pretty confined to the south west. We couldn’t deliver to Montbartier (Montauban) yesterday during the day but after midnight the road blocks were lifted. I can understand the farmers are upset but I don’t understand why they have to set fire to roundabouts and sections of the road which us here in the Lot et Garonne have to pay for afterwards . . . talk about setting the taxpayer against you.

Certain transport firms are also joining in with protests against the hike in diesel prices, I think that’s what the Toulouse manif are particularly concerned with

Weds 07/02. The diversion route from J56 of A20 now blocked. There’s apparently burning tyres and protesters at the roundabout off the peage. Since this is the official diversion Toulouse/North it’s going to cause headaches.

Ive heard it referred to as "barbecue a langlais"…

Seems following promises from the Fr Gov all the protests are over since the 8th. Some other areas are unhappy, but no word on any further actions as yet.
Fingers crossed it`s all over.
