Overview
- Coordination Rurale ended its 12‑day blockade on the A63 at Cestas, clearing tents and debris from the site south of Bordeaux.
- The union said the A64 blockades at Pau and Urt would be opened around midday after discussions with the prefect.
- Several sites remain shut or affected, including the A64 near Carbonne, stretches of the A75 in Aveyron and Lozère, and parts of the RN88 around Albi where cleanup is underway.
- Farmers’ central demand remains the end of systematic culling of entire herds for DNC cases, a pillar of the state’s strategy along with vaccination and movement limits.
- Leaders are preparing new actions in early January, including a plan to link A75 blockades, as Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez highlights ongoing dialogue and unions prepare for a January 5 meeting with the prime minister.
