PARIS UNDER SIEGE: Farmers Block All Highways to the City - Security Forces on High Alert - Minister Vows ‘No Tractor Will Enter...
The widespread farmers’ protests happening all over Europe are having in France one of its most dramatic chapter, as tractors and cars are set to block all highways around Paris, and the security forces are on alert.
“Darmanin said he ordered security forces to ‘prevent any blockade’ of Rungis International Market — which supplies the capital and surrounding region with much of its fresh food — and the Paris airports as well as to ban any convoy of farmers from entering the capital and any other big city. He said that helicopters will monitor convoys of tractors.
Farmers of the Rural Coordination union in the Lot-et-Garonne region, where the protests originated, said they plan to use their tractors Monday to head toward the Rungis International Market.
France’s two biggest farmers unions said in a statement that their members based in areas surrounding the Paris region would seek to block all major roads to the capital, with the aim of putting the city ‘under siege’, starting Monday afternoon.”
They don't have to enter. The food will run out.
That is their plan.

Farmers: hold my beer!
Does Ray Epps have a tractor!
We may find out tomorrow.
The snooty Parisians will likely think aliens have landed with those green monsters driving around!
How long before they get hungry ?
Could get interesting.
Definitely need to keep eyes on this. Along with who really did the drone attack on our troops.
Shades of the Berlin Blockade perhaps.
Great reminder, they may have to airlift food into Paris.
