French farmers block entrances to hypermarkets

On Friday 12th June at about 5.45 am farmers blocked the entrances to the Carrefour and Géant hypermarkets in Quimper. The farmers are objecting to the prices enforced by large retailers. Having already targeted Leclerc at the beginning of the week, police counted about 30 tractors and trailers on Friday. Town services cleared access to the Géant shopping mall mid-morning. The Minister of Agriculture, Stéphane Le Foll was in Brittany on Friday when the blockade occurred.
