Farmers To Lift Two A64 Blockades As South-West Protests Continue

Protesters in Pau and Urt plan a midday withdrawal after talks with the prefect.

Overview

  • Coordination Rurale said it will clear the A64 at Pau and Urt around midday after roughly 15 days on site.
  • The union acknowledged it did not win an end to whole-herd culling for nodular dermatitis and framed the move as a tactical pause.
  • Major closures persist elsewhere, including the A64 between Carbonne and Laffite-Vigordane, A63 approaches south of Bordeaux, and the A75 between La Tieule and Aguessac.
  • Additional disruptions include closures or restrictions on the RN88 near Albi, with live updates from Bison Futé and cleanup reported by Vinci Autoroutes on other A64 sections.
  • The state maintains a three-pillar response—systematic culling upon detection, vaccination, and movement limits—as Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez praised prefects and said dialogue continues.
