Protests in France

These were farmers' protest demonstrations like there have been across Europe in recent weeks, with highway blockades.
There was one last Thursday at the French-Spanish border. Nothing dangerous.

It's over and this has no impact on other roads.

Unless you're a Spanish wine producer who isn't too pleased about having your wine seized and poured down the drain by French farmers then you needn't have any concerns.

The blockages and demonstrations impact everyone who travels on the highways, not just Spanish wine producers.
It could be worse in June or completely over.

And just to clarify that summarizing the demonstrations to an import wine issue is to misunderstand the situation.
The farmers' protests are about much bigger issues than that.

There have been major protests all over Europe for weeks in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Poland, etc.

I thought I saw some gilet jeaunes on the TV the other night. Are they back again? Or maybe a an old vest out of the cupboard?

I'll just add to listen to your "new friends" here on the forum. If you have any family or friends who are not travelers telling you there is a problem, smile, nod and ignore their comments.

My comment was tongue in cheek!

I was wondering where that one came from: the tongue in the cheek, eh.
