Overview
- The A75 remains blocked across a broad section between Aveyron and Lozère up to Saint-Chély-d’Apcher, with local CR leaders saying they can hold the line at least until Jan. 5.
- Coordination Rurale in Ariège is restarting actions around the Foix tunnel on the RN20, announcing an indefinite closure with rolling participation to sustain the protest.
- Traffic conditions improved on parts of the A64, with the exit to Pau reopened and better flow reported toward Bayonne.
- In Auch, a tractor advanced after spraying a newspaper façade, police issued warnings with a drawn firearm, the driver was briefly held then released, and the IGPN opened a review as the interior minister defended the legality of police actions.
- The state continues to rely on herd culling, vaccination, and movement limits to fight DNC, which unions oppose as too harsh and financially inadequate given aid they describe as capped and insufficient.
