Farmers across France have been protesting by using tractors to create road blocks in a wave of protests across Europe. Major French motorways were blocked near Paris and Bayonne, close to the Spanish border. Farmers said anger was growing for several reasons. Many feel abandoned in the face of the climate crisis, with droughts and severe weather conditions, but there is also fury at what they see as impossibly low prices for their products in the food sector, the difficulty of red tape, complex environmental norms, and green policies – such as on water use – which they say are affecting profits. Further protests took place in Germany and Romania ahead of the European elections in June.

Literal double standard regarding protests
Where's the American with a gun?
European awakening
The Guardian has done it again. Taken down a video and then re-uploaded without the original comments. Why do you do this?
Support farmers. Stop the green scam.
FARMERS ROCK🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
The Govt.s are defo doing something wrong, but I don't think they have any idea WHAT ‼️ But they just will not listen – protest is the only way to get through to these numbskulls 😢😢😢
❤ Farmers 💪🎉💪💕🏆🇺🇸
Power to the people- from America.
Its funny that everyone supports the farmers blocking roads in protest, but not anyone else.
Dont know, seems a bit hypocritical
Excellent, keep it up, the Farmers rock!!
The French really know how to get their voices heard.
RESPECT!
Farmers were protesting in India under Modi regime a while back. Farmers protesting in France while Macron is in India. Similar tales. More power to the farmers!
It’s all about saying NON to globalism.
Please dont do that in britian. The silly masses will moan they cant get to work or drop their kids off. Or their stopping ambulances on the motorway.
If the self-appointed Eco warriors are allowed to block the roads, then there can be no objection to farmers doing exactly the same thing. At least the latter have public support.
Poor very poor
Viva la France 🇫🇷
Well done farmers, stand up and take no more rubbish! I'm 100% behind you all. WE NEED FARMERS AND ALL THE FARMS WE CAN GET.
animals

NCSWIC NOTHING
How long before the french gestapo freeze their bank accounts
Did you miss the footage on slurry and muck dumping, Guardian?
I wish I could afford a nice tractor like that. And all that land to myself. When I grow up, I want to be a farmer. And I won't complain. 🫏🐖🦃💩🍄🍊💰🥳
I swear they do more of this than farming
Viva la France
Why do they have to be so SELFISH and obstruct normal people going about their daily business ?? Get a different job!
Its becouce your in the EU . Your prices are from other countrysthstcan do it cheaper . When will you realise this France.
Who's care? Ukranians want your money now😁
If the farmers had any sense at all they would have had their own supermarket chain decades ago.
Instead they are greedy for easy money, are notorious tax dodgers, and are the biggest scroungers off the state.
i feel farmers get a rotton deal they have to get up very early to milk the cows then they have to clean out the sheds then they have to plow the lands this is what i cal a hard workers and yet they suffer so much hardly with out government help its disgracfull also i cant understand why the government pay farmers not to grow food then we import it from other countrys can some one tell me why this is.
This is just the beginning, It will be happening all over the world as these dictator governments try to control everything. Get ready for a rough ride….
