The agricultural union announces that it will block the border between France and Spain, this Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at the large Boulou toll barrier.
Rural Coordination strikes first. While agricultural unions, and particularly the FNSEA, are calling for the resumption of the mobilization of farmers at the national level, the Coordination announces the blocking of the border between France and Spain, this Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at the Great Barrier of Boulou toll on the A9.
“We will block all trucks in the Spain-France direction,” warns Philippe Maydat, head of Rural Coordination in the Pyrénées-Orientales, “from the beginning of the afternoon. We will also filter cars in the same direction of traffic. Members of the Rural Coordination of Aude, Hérault and certainly other departments will join us. We want, once again, make the anger and distress of farmers heard.”
“We are simply asking that the promises made at the start of 2024 be kept on administrative simplification in particular, but not only. But also, and particularly in the Pyrénées-Orientales, we demand emergency aid so that farmers survive “.
It remains to be seen what the watchwords of the FNSEA and the Young Farmers will be after this blockade announced by the Rural Coordination, a minority union in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
