It has been more than a week since the anger of those who work the land and livestock has been growing. Mobilized throughout France, farmers are demanding better remuneration, fewer administrative burdens and a reduction in environmental standards. Blockages are taking place everywhere in France. In Île-de-France, several highways are blocked, while the Prime Minister is expected to make announcements this Friday afternoon, during his trip to Haute-Garonne, where the movement began.
