French farmers expressed their displeasure with President Macron's policies by blocking the opening of the Paris agricultural fair and organizing a protest at it. Their outrage is directed at "green" regulations, increased bureaucracy and rising costs. They demand the government to solve these problems, as well as the resignation of President Macron, who is considered responsible for the difficult situation.
Farmers, responding to competition from Ukrainian agricultural products, joined other EU farmers in their protest. The Paris agricultural show, which attracts around 600,000 visitors a year, has been delayed by farmers' protests. Disgruntled villagers blocked the entrance to the event, which led to the fact that the doors remained closed until 10:38 Kyiv time.
Farmers' protests were accompanied by demands to solve the problems of rising costs and bureaucracy. They consider President Macron responsible for complicating the situation and demand his resignation. Macron's government decided to cancel a planned debate at the fair, organized to talk to farmers, processors and retailers, after farm unions refused to take part, underscoring tensions between them and the government.
