Frustrated French Farmers block motorway for fifth day

Description

French Farmers in the southern Occitanie region continue their blockade of part of the A64 motorway started on Thursday. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal meets leaders of the powerful FNSEA farming union on Monday evening, a day after his agriculture minister announced a long-delayed reform package had again been postponed. Among farmers' grievances are the ever-increasing costs the sector faces and what they say is the choking effect of over-zealously imposed environmental regulations. IMAGES
