France: Agricultural workers to demonstrate in Pau Sept. 9
Farmers to protest at Tribunal Administratif in Pau, France, from 10:00 Sept. 9. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Farmers affiliated with several unions plan to protest at the Tribunal Administratif on Cours Lyautey in Pau from 10:00 Sept. 9. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce planned reductions in water allotments for irrigation. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Tribunal Administratif. Some participants may travel to the protest site by tractor, potentially creating traffic disruptions around Pau in the early morning and early afternoon. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, ideologically opposed individuals, or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Tribunal Administratif, or on major roadways around Pau in the early morning or early afternoon. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
