A group of farmers and their tractors are stationed at the entrance gates of Colruyt supermarkets in Hanoët and Warémie, in the Liège department. Belga located it on site Saturday afternoon.
The two Colruyt supermarkets in Haspengouw have been completely inaccessible, in Borgworm since Saturday morning and in Hannuit since mid-afternoon Saturday.
“The farmers gathered here around 3.30 p.m. and did not allow anyone to enter. “The demonstrators announced that the protest would continue until 8 p.m., our closing time,” said a store manager at Hanoot. The customers present were able to leave the store without incident. But after that, no No one can enter the site.
