Overview
- Coordination Rurale dismantled emblematic sites on the A63 at Cestas and on the A64 at Pau and Urt, shifting to cleanup and reopenings after nearly two weeks of blockades.
- The Gironde prefecture said the A63 would reopen in degraded mode with one lane and reduced speeds, as road authorities estimated repair costs of roughly €100,000–€150,000.
- Several actions persist in Occitanie, with the A64 still shut at Carbonne and a unified closure on the A75 now blocking close to 100 km north of the Millau viaduct; RN88 near Albi remains closed during cleanup.
- The Interior Ministry counted 12 actions involving 330 people on December 26, down from 93 actions and nearly 4,000 participants a week earlier.
- Union leaders report local advances on compensation, a heifer bank and post‑vaccination testing, yet the government’s herd‑culling protocol remains unchanged as farmers signal a stronger mobilisation in early January, including fresh actions in the Gers.
