A convoy of the farmers union Coordination rurale was blocked by the police at Orveau in Essonne near Paris. It was trying to reach Paris, despite warnings from the French agriculture minister that the capital should not be blocked "on a school holiday". "People often try to undermine our credibility by making us look like Nazis. What we want are people who want to save French agriculture," says Pierre-Guillaume Mercadal, spokesperson for the Coordination rurale of Tarn-et-Garonne.
