– 18 h 35. The farmers are preparing to leave Lille. According to our reporter on site, the secretary general of the FNSEA du Nord indicated that they were giving their interlocutors fifteen days/three weeks to act. Otherwise, the mobilization will resume.

– 18 h 00 : the delegation comes from the Cité Marianne. There is an ongoing debate regarding the declassification of watercourses into ditches. The administration agreed to review certain classifications. A decision that pleases some. But for others, more is needed. It is difficult at the moment to know whether the mobilization will continue this evening and night.
