The meeting at the prefecture did not calm the anger
The meeting of farmers’ representatives in the prefecture has just ended. The anger has not yet subsided. The signs are thrown into the Basse and the procession takes the road towards the MSA (agricultural social mutual) for a new action.
Threat of more spills
The demonstrators are still stamping their feet in front of the Pyrénées-Orientales prefecture. And they are already making it known. If they don’t get answers, they may well proceed with further dumping of their shipments in front of other targeted agencies.
