Overview
- The Coordination rurale ended high‑profile roadblocks on the A63 at Cestas and on the A64 at Pau and Urt after meetings with prefects, easing traffic in Nouvelle‑Aquitaine.
- Key disruptions persist in Occitanie, with the A64 still blocked at Carbonne and unified closures on the A75 shutting roughly 100 km near the Millau corridor, alongside targeted actions in the Gers and around Albi.
- Cleanup and repairs are underway with phased reopenings, including a degraded restart on the A63, as road authorities warn of carriageway damage and estimate €100,000–€150,000 in repairs at Cestas.
- The government maintains its DNC strategy built on whole‑herd culling, vaccination and movement limits, while local talks produced measures cited by farmers such as improved compensation, a heifer bank and post‑vaccination testing.
- The CR says mobilization will resume in early January as Interior Ministry counts show a drop to about 12 actions and the Agriculture Ministry reports over half of the region’s 750,000 cattle vaccinated toward an 80% target next week.
