Roadblocks and blockades were largely lifted over Christmas as farmers returned home, but unions say new actions are planned for January. The first planned action begins from Tuesday, December 30th and concerns the A64 motorway between Toulouse and Bayonne, where protesters have been concentrated. A gathering is planned at Cazères, between Toulouse and Tarbes, though a blockade there is not confirmed. A second action is scheduled in Toulouse on Saturday, January 3rd, where farmers intend to walk into the city centre carrying signs and 106 crosses representing cows culled for Lumpy Skin Disease. Organisers say there will be no dumping or burning, but traffic disruption is possible.
