Father with small children fined for escaping farmer’s blockade, mayor jumps in the breach | Farmer’s actions

The family was the last in a long line of cars to exit the highway, returning home with their young children in the backseat. “Our 9-month-old daughter had to sleep and her 3-year-old sister became restless. When I heard that the farmers would stay until 8 pm, I followed the mob of cars leaving the highway through the driveway,” he says.
