Alsatian farmers have erected on Sunday night on the border with Germany barricades to stop lorries from Germany in agricultural products. As the French news agency AFP reported on the night of Monday, they are protesting against distortions of competition.
Five bridges will be blocked
With tractors they would have from 22.00 clock six road links, including five bridges, occupied between France and Germany. The action of the regional federation of peasant unions (FDSEA) should be continued at least until Monday afternoon. More than 1000 farmers would alternately participate in the blockades, the FDSEA-President of the Bas-Rhin, Franck Sander, the agency said. Several trucks from the direction of Germany would have had to go back.
For days farmers protest in France against falling prices for their products. Farmers complain that the labor costs in Germany are considerably lower as through the use of harvest workers from Eastern Europe than in France
