French farmers block highway

- Protesting farmers Monday blocked the highway from Nantes to Brest in Brittany place Lorient. French police have negotiated with protesters and so far they had to promise that after lunch, at 14:00 lift the blockade, French media reported.

The authorities fear that it does not remain in this block. Last year, put many angry ranchers in many places the traffic lamb and demanded higher prices for their goods. The government of President François Hollande and Prime Minister Manuel Valls implored the turmoil with a package of 600 million euros to reduce debt and expenses of farmers in trouble.
