“The local supermarket”

Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, busy on Tuesday organizing the blockade of the Spanish border in the Pyrénées-Orientales, returned to Lot-et-Garonnaise in the evening.

We are going to block supplies, food freight, trucks, purchasing centers… And those who do not have the means to block purchasing centers, they will block the local supermarket. We must expect the movement to harden and France to be paralyzed. »

According to the two co-presidents of CR47, this day of blockade was organized jointly with all the rural coordinations in France. “Everything is planned. Plan A, plan B,” explains Karine Duc. ” Tomorrow [mercredi, NDLR]everyone knows where they should go. Strategic points are defined almost everywhere in France.
