Toulouse Farmers March as Gers Blockades Hold, Tractor Convoy Set for Next Week

The focus is compulsory culling linked to dermatose nodulaire, with wider grievances over regulation, taxation, trade policy.

Overview

  • About 100 to 150 farmers marched in Toulouse in an inter-union action, carrying 106 wooden crosses and concluding at the regional prefecture.
  • Roadblocks in the Gers persisted with the Auch ring road and a section of the RD1124 closed, a full blockade at Nogaro, and partial disruptions in several communes.
  • The Coordination Rurale du Gers plans a convoy of roughly 100 tractors toward Haute-Garonne on Tuesday, with current blockades possibly lifted during the move.
  • The Confédération paysanne has called a national mobilization for Wednesday, January 7.
  • Separate actions continued on key routes, including the Ultras de l’A64 at the Carbonne exit, as the Gers chamber leader flagged a potential shift of the RN20 blockade toward Toulouse.
