The farmers' revolt continues in Haute-Garonne, the A64 motorway still blocked

The farmers' revolt continues in Haute-Garonne, disrupting motorist traffic. If the demonstrators left the A62 at 2 a.m. this Friday, the mobilization is still underway on the A64 near Carbonne, where several hundred farmers and 80 tractors were set up during the day on Thursday. The highway remains closed between interchanges 26 and 27, indicates the Prefecture of Haute-Garonne. If “diversions are put in place”, the prefecture advises “to anticipate or postpone trips to avoid traffic during peak hours”.

On the A64, farmers are setting up and organizing themselves with toilets, water tanks and a generator, as explained by France Bleu Occitanie on X, supporting photo. “Basic installations but designed to last,” comments the local media, which announces the farmers’ intention to “stay for several days on the A64.” And this, as long as they have not obtained a response from the government concerning their demands, including water storage, irrigation quotas or even the health crisis in livestock farms. In view of the growing tensions surrounding the mobilization, the Prefecture of Haute-Garonne authorized “the use of drones” to monitor the area and “prevent the risks of disturbances to public order”, from Friday January 19, 2024 midnight to Saturday January 20, 2024 midnight.

If traffic is likely to remain difficult in Haute-Garonne, France Bleu Occitanie still announces good news on the eve of the weekend: the blockades on the N20 road (Ariège), in place since Thursday afternoon, have been lifted this Friday at 9:00 a.m. at the Pamiers Sud and Verniolle exits. The resumption of traffic on the road axis is in progress.
