France Farmers Revolt, Block Highways Over EU Trade and Falling Incomes | GRAVITAS

Описание: French farmers have escalated nationwide protests, blocking major motorways and setting tire fires as anger mounts over trade policies, rising costs, and what they describe as government inaction.
From northwestern France to the outskirts of Lyon, tractors have brought traffic to a standstill as farmers demand protection from cheaper agricultural imports and relief from mounting financial pressure. Protesters say European Union policies and the proposed Mercosur trade agreement threaten their livelihoods. Farmers’ unions warn that a majority of agricultural operations are now in financial distress and accuse politicians of failing to defend domestic farming. As the EU pushes to finalize the Mercosur deal, pressure is growing on Paris and Brussels to respond or risk further disruption across the country
