Thousands converged near Sainte-Soline to oppose a large irrigation reservoir. Protesters described the basin system as privatizing a shared resource for intensive agriculture, while farmers and public authorities defended it as a way to secure irrigation during drought. The demonstration was prohibited and met by a large police deployment; serious injuries were reported among both demonstrators and police. The event became a national dispute over water governance and protest policing.
