As French farmers protest, #police instructed not to intervene at blockades

On Sunday evening, at the end of a meeting of the interministerial crisis unit, Darmanin once again insisted on "moderation" from law enforcement agents, instructing them to refrain from "intervening at the blockade points" and instead work to "secure them." Although the details of this "defensive" operation are not yet known, 15,000 police officers and gendarmes were to be deployed Monday to prevent incidents and serious blockades around large cities.
