The head of France’s largest farming organization said Monday farmers would block all major highways out of Paris as protests against price pressures, taxes and the European Union’s (EU) nature restoration law intensify.
“In any case, we’re escalating. We’re here today, we’re leaving the highway for the first time in almost eight days, we’re taking the RN 31 and this evening, we’ve decided to come back here,” said Regis Desrumaux, the head of the FDSEA farmers union for the OISE region.
France has said it will push to ease EU environmental regulations on fallow farmland this week but farmers say they remain unhappy with the government’s response. On Friday, the French government also dropped plans to gradually reduce state subsidies on agricultural diesel.
Meanwhile, the protests spread to southern Belgium as farmers blocked one of Europe’s busiest highways and parked tractors a stone throw from the EU Parliament. Protesters said it was a taste of the protests planned for the EU Leaders’ Summit on Thursday.

There's an attack on the food supply worldwide and hence farmers everywhere. All about bringing in centralized power by any means available. Resist!! Go farmers
CITYPEOPLE and the GREENs want to stop the EVIL, POLLUTING FARMERS from harming the planet.
"Who needs them … just get your food at the store like normal people."
Connecting the dots is not a high priority for them.
😐😐😐😐
If this happened in Canada, the Emergencies Act would be used again and these farmers’ bank accounts would be seized.
This has been happening for a long time… kind of slow reporting don't you think?
trudeau is making EU erupt making way to internal european states war again? by splitting eu ?. money to ukrain blaming russia for attacking ukrain . 🤫 uk is londonistan . muslim protests of every kind everyday . now you know why quebec banned religious symbols and mass migration .
Farmers don't have an industry of their own — this industry is for everyone. The governments displaying modern stupidity.
No Farmer no food
We need to start thinking about profit caps on supermarket chains.
Good. Coverage. Wagons were circling.
This would not happen if the government cared about the interests of the people and not its donors.
Maybe soon in Canada
Stay strong Farmers and God Bless You All!
Good to see Global report on this "breaking" news! What a joke.
Is mess
What are they protesting against or for?
No where does it explain what they want
POWER to the farmer boys and girls !!! we love ya
I support people doing what is right for their families. But I also support concealed carry, even in my country where it is illegal, when thugs prevent me from doing what I want to do. Thugs can be cops or they can be protestors.
Good luck farmers, Canadian’s were jailed and had their money stolen from them by our regime, when we tried to push back on the insanely high taxation destroying our country. Power to the common citizen!!!
You finally going to start reporting this
Policy makers continue to destroy farmlands in favour of climate change policy.
No Farmers, no food. Long Live the Rights of Farmers. Support from Punjab Farmers
Oh no the small fringe minority strikes again, if only they had supreme leader trudeau there to illegally invoke the emergencies act!
Imagine siding with city clickers in suits in ties who help themselves to your paycheck over the men and women who grow your food lol
This is NWO agenda. Who has control over the food supply has control over people. We need to stand up against the tyranny or we are doomed.
But we have to support Ukraine 😁
Canadian farmers are afraid ,bank accounts frozen, jail time, under Trudeaus RULE,
Good for you. We must stop the insanity of the WEF worldwide!
The 🔥 is rising!!!
Trudeau must go to Jail! Emergency Act officially is illegal. Froze Canadian citizens bank accounts, a first in the western world.
Stand your ground farmers!!!! The world is watching!!! Freedom Convoy 2022💪🇨🇦!! As we have seen with our convoy, it was illegal for the TRUDEAU Liberal Government to invoke the Emergency's Act on OUR people standing up for the Freedoms and their Rights!! Anyone that calls our heros "Freedumbers," needs to be deported to Russia, China or North Korea or face treason charges for going against the Freedoms of this country!!
watch out they might inact an amergency act like justin too tooo
Most farmers i know are greedy and only care about getting wealthy.
Don't tick off the people that feed you.
Head on a swivel As hockey players used to say – means watch what’s developing … to the Canadian powers that’s shouldn’t be
The world should be protesting against climate communism. You can't bankrupt nations by following governments to push climate agendas . The people have spoken and we don't want WEF communism. The people will stand together against WEF and WHO.
Carla
Viva la farmers🎉
THE ONLY WAY OUT
RETURN OF THE MONARCHY
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN XVII PRINCESS ANN
🧿🦁🇫🇷💜☂️💜🇫🇷🦁🧿
Get out of EU!!!
The WEF and idiotic self-serving politicians need to end this craziness. We need real leaders not these clowns trying to tax farmers to death – of all people. Ban private jets, ban private yachts, and ban heating or cooling residences with more than 6,000 square feet first, then we can have a discussion…
Slithering snake billionaires trying to pass off as public servants when all they want is to create a communist dictatorship model where they are immune from all consequences and rules in their oligarch club.
wow bravo they finally send out the police forces on protesters
ahem just stop oil and muslim protests
