What will our traffic conditions be like in Poitou with the anger of the agricultural sector? The actions began this Sunday, November 17 in Vienne and Deux-Sèvres. The FNSEA and JA unions have covered up several dozen municipal signs, with inscriptions on them to denounce Mercosur. They must gain momentum in the coming days. We take stock of the actions announced.
First slowdowns this Monday, November 18
For this Monday, November 18, the main difficulties will concentrate on Deux-Sèvres and the agglomeration of Niort. The FNSEA 79 and the JA 79 announce a gathering at 2 p.m. in front of the Acclameur. A occupancy of Boulevard de l’Europe is planned from 3 p.m.. Traffic could be seriously disrupted, or even blocked for one or two hours. The farmers then meet at the Noron exhibition center for a “fire of anger”.
In Vienne, no blockages and no snail operations are announced for this Monday. The JA and the FNSEA instead call for meet up in the evening on roundabouts to light, there too, “fires of anger”.
Operation snail Tuesday in Niort
The actions planned for the following days will become clearer over time. What we know is that in Deux-Sèvres, the Ja and the FNSEA plan a snail operation this Tuesday, November 19 in Niort. The first will start from 7 a.m. The second will begin at the end of the afternoon around 4 p.m. In the meantime, the farmers plan to meet at Place de la Brèche.
On the Vienna side, for the moment nothing seems definitive even if no blockages are planned on the road. This is what the vice-president of FNSEA 86 told us on our antenna. Laurent Lambert specifies that farmers are finishing sowing, the priority. The mobilization will therefore evolve depending on the weather.
From Wednesdaythe union of Rural Coordination will in turn begin actions. He is waiting for the end of the national congress, which is being held Tuesday and Wednesday at the Futuroscope palace, to join the protest. According to the union, two convoys must leave Poitou towards the Ruffec purchasing center. The first will leave from Chasseneuil-du-Poitou and the second from the Intermarché in Civray.
