On certain panels, the names of Brazilian and Argentinian cities have been affixed in reference to the free trade treaty between the European Union and Mercosur. Fires of anger are also plannedthis Monday evening, in Doussard, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois and Eloise.
They also arranged to meet this Monday morning at 10 a.m., Place du Pénitencier in Albertville. Eight tractors were parked on the main road. On France Bleu Pays de Savoie, the president of the FDSEA of Savoie and Haute-Savoie had announced actions “punctual on roundabouts, towing, banners” more “no hard and strong blocking”. The objective is to inform the public of their situation.
