C'est dans un froid glacial que les derniers groupes d'agriculteurs mobilisés ont réveillonné le 24 décembre sur l'autoroute. Ils manifestent toujours contre la gestion gouvernementale de la dermatose nodulaire. Un repas de Noël improvisé au niveau du barrage de Carbonne, au sud de Toulouse, a notamment eu lieu.
Noël sur l’A63 : des agriculteurs mobilisés malgré les fêtes
La rocade reste fermée à la circulation au niveau du Séquestre

Overview

  • Authorities counted about 15 blockade points mobilising roughly 140 people on December 25, concentrated on the A63, A64, A65 and A75 corridors.
  • Protesters held Christmas gatherings at several sites, including a mass at Carbonne that drew about 300 attendees and a communal vigil at Cestas.
  • In Albi, farmers lifted their camp on December 24 to spend the holidays with families, but the ring road remained closed pending cleanup of debris left on the roadway.
  • A new case in Juzet‑d’Izaut led to the culling of 72 cows, bringing the national tally to 115 DNC outbreaks since June.
  • The government reaffirmed its three‑pillar plan and raised emergency aid to €11 million, which unions judged insufficient as they prepare talks with the Prime Minister in January.
