Farmers block Toulouse airport entrance and burn straw bales

Protesting French farmers have blocked the main entrance to Toulouse airport and are burning straw bales outside it. Stacks of straw and rubber tyres were set alight on a roundabout outside Toulouse-Blagnac airport on Tuesday morning. The airport had warned travellers to “plan ahead” on Monday and said it had expected the disruption. The regional prefect said it is still accessible via adjoining car parks and it does not appear to have caused significant flight delays. Farmers are protesting throughout France against cheap food imports and environmental regulations.
