"Colleagues from the FSU, the Confédération paysanne and the Sud were arrested as terrorists, when they could have been summoned. We denounce the atmosphere of intimidation. We have a frank concern about the authoritarian drift, "responded Benoît Foucambert, co-secretary of the FSU of Tarn.
Dozens of supporters gathered in front of the Albi police station to protest against the arrests. On the day of the facts, the prefect of Tarn had denounced these acts and indicated that he had "asked the national police to make every effort to arrest the perpetrators of these unacceptable acts".
