Undeclared mobilizations of farmers will be prohibited from 6 p.m., Sunday January 5, while the agricultural union Rural Coordination (CR) calls for demonstrations “in Paris” and “everywhere in France”.
On Saturday, the Rural Coordination maintained its call to reach the capital by car or tractor from Sunday afternoon to demonstrate on Monday January 6. The union intends to obtain guarantees from the Prime Minister for the defense of a “agriculture focused on protecting smallholders“.
But a dark side was added at the last minute: the police headquarters of Paris and that of Val-de-Marne banned gatherings until Monday 12 p.m., “considering the calls to demonstrate on January 5, 2025 launched by an agricultural union with a view to 'blocking the capital' and blocking the Rungis market of national interest“, according to two decrees published Friday.
Several dozen tractors already dispersed
The ban concerns a large perimeter of central Paris including the Élysée and the National Assembly, and an area including the Rungis market and the A6B. THE “security device“set up”aims to prevent all damage and violence and all harsh actions“, indicated the Paris police headquarters. This Saturday, the Rural Coordination once again maintained, as the day before, its call to reach the capital by car or tractor from Sunday afternoon to demonstrate on Monday, reports BFMTV.
“We will be in Paris on Sunday evening. We have a meeting point in 91 (Essonne, Editor's note), another in 27 (Eure, Editor's note) and another which is being defined“, however specified Patrick Legras, spokesperson for the CR, who expects the presence of “several hundred farmers from Sunday“.
