Northern Basque farmers block the A64 to denounce measures against nodular dermatosis

The mobilizations were launched last night and tractors and bales of straw were placed on the road. The French Government has taken drastic measures to control the disease and has ordered all the cows on the farm to be slaughtered in the event of a case.

Farmers in the Northern Basque Country have today taken tractors to the road and blocked the A64 highway in protest against the measures against nodular dermatosis. The mobilizations started on Friday night and the farmers intend to stay until Monday blocking the roads.

Farmers are targeted by the measures agreed by the French Government to prevent nodule dermatosis. In the French Basque Country there have not yet been any cases of bovine disease, but farmers perceive it as imminent.

Farmers believe that the measure is too strict, and that is why the main trade unions in the sector, including the Union of Basque Farmers, have called for protests.

In addition to the measures against nodular dermatosis, farmers want to denounce the attitude of the Macron government towards the protests. In fact, it has instructed the police to act violently against the demonstrators .
