Farmers in central France held protests over rising fuel prices, ripping up two speed cameras and leaving them outside a tax office in Rodez, Aveyron, on September 21. The demonstration was organized by the Coordination Rurale farming union. Lorry drivers are planning their own protests next week, stating the transport sector faces unfair treatment.
