FRANCE, 2015/07/28
French farmers have been trying to block farm products coming in from Germany and Spain since Sunday evening (26 July) as part of a wider turmoil against falling prices.
Farmers have used trucks to block six routes from Germany to prevent trucks with agricultural products coming in, French news agency AFP reported Monday.
“We let the cars and everything that comes from France pass,” said Franck Sander a representative of a farmers' union, who noted that around one thousand farmers participated in the turmoil.
