French police use tear gas to disperse protesting farmers in city of Bordeaux

Paris, Mar 11 (UNI) The French police have used tear gas to disperse a crowd of several hundred farmers protesting in front of the local council's building in the city of Bordeaux in the country's southern Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, French media reported on Monday.
The farmers have bombarded the territory around the building with uprooted vines and manure with the use of dozens of tractors and then dumped tires and straw near the fences with an eye to setting them on fire, forcing a law enforcement unit to interfere with the situation, the Ouest-France newspaper reported.
Delegations of farmers have kept arriving from all the corners of the region to Bordeaux in hope that the local council's lawmakers would meet with them, the France Bleu radio station reported, adding that their actions had resulted in gridlock.
