The director of Scachap de Ruffec had taken the matter to the Angoulême judicial court to request the expulsion of farmers from the site. The court granted his request and this Friday morning, a bailiff came to bring an order to the farmers ordering them to vacate the site before this Saturday 10:45 a.m.
The evacuation took place peacefully, in a good-natured atmosphere. With a police helicopter circling in the sky.

The mobile gendarmes who have just liberated the Lidl logistics base in Vars are on their way to lend a hand to their colleagues. They are equipped with armored vehicles and water cannons.
There, everything went smoothly. Faced with a few CR tractors, the armored Centaurs and the nine vans of the mobile gendarmes clearly established the balance of power. The farmers of CR 16, who had stood in front of the gates of the Lidl base, put their tractors back in line. One last souvenir photo with the mobiles in the background and the procession set off towards Chasseneuil.
On the docks of the logistics base, the 1,500 pallets, many of which were fresh products, were just waiting for the transporters, called back by management so that the group's 70 stores in the region could be delivered overnight.
Arnaud Vautrin, the director of the base, reassured, told the gendarmes that he would not file a complaint. “There was no degradation”.
In Roullet, the blockades established under the LGV track, in front of the Intermarché base, were also lifted at the same time. The police had coordinated their interventions on the three sites.
