Now early this month I brought the news that German farmers were fighting back after their governments cut fuel subsidies as part of its Drive onwards ever towards net zero but now farmers in France are also taking to the streets they’re protesting against a cut in fuel subsidies other green policies and
Attempts to force down food prices the French are revolting once again with spirits of the jileon coming through I’m joined by Charles hre who’s the leader of France’s generation fit group and a great friend of mine thanks for joining us on the show Charles hry so the scenes coming out of
Paris in particular are astonishing we’re seeing tractors literally spraying affluent all over government buildings what’s getting the French so hot under the cter this time hello Martin thank you basically you Su up the the situation let’s say that the farmer are fed up with all come
From Brussels I mean what are the main revindication from the farmers it’s they are dying from the high standards that Brussel require and in the same time they are imposing free trade agreements with the world world with the food products that does not respect any uh any same standard so they say it’s
Enough they say the prices that we said are too low they say uh we cannot live anymore from what we are doing and we Face uh we we Face unloyal competition from outside in post bus Brussels so there is a big uh angry about it if you
Look at the polls you have almost like during the gilon time 90% of French people that are in favor of this manifestation if you look at it you are third quarter of the French that are aware that the EU is the main problem for the farmers so the situation is
Moving and it’s it’s very interesting to look at what will happen because if he going to be serious maybe the farmer will go to Brussels to ask you know uh why he going like this and you know in the same times you have this protest the
EU has said they will go on to sign the meros trade deal and they will do as well a deal with Chile and you know that with these countries it will be many many uh meat and so on that will come to uh to the EU and to France so it’s uh
It’s very very uh it’s very huge movement and it’s backed by French people which is the more important thing and shows on some astonishing detail basically the European Union is placing so much red tape on French Farmers they’re spending 20% of their working week filling out paperwork there are
Minimum rules on things like the width of cages the width of ditches they don’t know which ditches they’re meant to dredge which ones are not allowed to dredge and as a consequence prices are going through the roof in France cannot compete with far cheaper Imports vegetables from Morocco chickens from
Brazil and Thailand or cheaper French Farmers unable to make a living and they are simply sick to the back teeth of it and we have elections coming up Charles omry in in May and June for the EU we’re expecting to see major gains for the parties that stand against the European
Union sure if you look at the from National is amounting to 31% which is which is huge and if you let’s say some all the parties that are against Brussel policies you are more than 50 person then you still have this split between the left and the right but
If you add all the Euros skeptic parties it’s it’s huge and it’s more than 50% I think it will be a big signal that will be sent to Brussel and if you look at the different polls across Europe it’s not only France you can look at Germany
You can look at Spain Portugal and many countries so and of course Netherlands so you will see that it’s moving and this Far More protest you had Germany you had France but you had as well the new zealands before that so it can be a Global European farmer Revolt it will
Very very interesting because it’s the basis of serigny if you don’t have your food sovereignty you cannot do anything so it’s it’s of a parment importance for French and French people and you know how much we like Gastronomy and Cuisine so it’s it’s a tough tough topic superb
Stuff sha galwa leader of France’s generation fit thank you very much for joining us those pictures on screen there they just say it all Farmers dumping their dung outside of government buildings marvelous stuff

You`re all on here spouting about French farmers flinging sh*t about !! I find it more of a concern we`ve got sh*t floating down our rivers !!
Yes the French are revolting, but they're rebelling as well.
(Joke!)
No farmers no food. Total control for the people. You will eat bugs.
Le French adore La Poo on the floor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In england we put the kettle on 🐓🐓🐓
The French have always been Revolting but now they are rebelling😅😂.
Makes a change from all the shit floating across the channel.
Net Zero is yet another way the left attack the establishment. This is a political civil war and must be resisted!
The french farmers has more balls than british farmers
This is being covered by Reuters and news stations over the world, but there is nothing at all on the BBC news channel…. how odd.
Time to get rid of the EU, WEF and the UN
They've always been bolshy.
the tile is revolting and an insult to any education standards, ==could have correctively stated = FRENCH ENGAGE IN REVOLUTION. =====. TO SAY THE FRENCH ARE REVOLTING IS INSULTING, ABUSIVE, OFFENSIVE AND SIMPLY INVOKES HOSTILITY … WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THIS DELIBERATE DISRESPECTFUL HEADLINE? A SCHOOL CHILD COULD DO BETTER THAT THIS CHEAP TACKY IRRESPONSIBLE LAZY USE OF HEADLINE LANGUAGE. = grow up , must do better.
Respect 🫡 to the French 🇫🇷 Farmers 🚜
Food security isn’t something politicians take very seriously whatever the country and yet they tell us in the West we have to prepare for possible war. It was only a couple of years ago that the government under Boris wanted to ‘rewild’ Britain and ditch the farmland. If we don’t protect our farming industry and feed ourselves then we might as well surrender to Putin now and bypass the fighting.
Holland watch learn and repeat
Go vegan and stop animal abuse. Here come the abuser's, 5 4 3 2 1.go.
You are doing a great job.👏👏
You upset the French farming community at your peril. So this is the wonderful EU, throwing its weight around, fanatically pursuing its Net Zero obsession, raising costs, drowning the farmers in paperwork and to hell with the people. THANK GOD WE ARE OUT.
We must support our farmers, no matter what country..Netherlands, french, German, Canadian..
Oh bless you you need to open your mind to what's going on
'Cut Fuel Subsidies' ie Tax on fuel!
as the US neoliberal (aka same old shit vampire 'conservative') business model spreads like a plague, GREAT to see such powerful pushback
Of all the industries governments could target to lower emissions they chose Farming🙄
What is wrong with politicians are they just so nieve to reality?
Shut down the EU
All of this going on is mainly driven by the unelected WEF "World Economic Forum" they are behind all of your governments and their policies.
Because of the immigrants arriving in uk 😅😅
Dont guve up the world is with u
Ce n’est pas que les agriculteurs qui sont menacés,mais les français de souche blancs ,au travers des mesures de Macron et de Bruxelles ! La loi immigration est détricotés et il veut implanter des migrants dans les campagnes françaises …CQFD !
Viva the Farmers revolt and tell your government and the EU to sod off and take the WEF / WHO / UN / NATO with them. Governments are taking their orders from the WEF.
Bravo!! I hope all countries will follow your lead!! Congratulations!!
Just love it when they all come out in unity!
I wonder if all governments are watching..because aregdddon is near.. Good luck to all you farmers…always stand together..Thatcher ripped us apart.. but we need to stick together…stating what we are all saying and said..ENOUGH IS ENOUGH..work like slaves paid like slaves why GREED gets fulfilled.. for what is beyond me…
Don't forget your Ukraine war with cheap grain
Stay strong farmers LOVE FROM usa!

In Norway, the news are not covering this.
I just came back from Paris. I can't believe I missed this.😮 Good for the manifestation participants!
My God, So Brussels make all the European countries rely on South American food, becuase the nation's farmers have all gone bankrupt and no longer exist and then they can easily cut off supply with something like a um ,,,,, a war maybe. And then we all starve to death ? ? Could this be their plan I wonder ? ? ?
Meanwhile, the local councils are allowing crappy housing to be built on far land.
👏👏👏😘
Europe spring is here..
"The French are revolting"??? Surely there's no need to be so rude 🤣🤣🤣
The criminals that make up the world economic forum are trying to control the food and take away farming. You must not vote for labour or conservative next General Election they both owned by the WEF. You're future and you're children's future depends on it
Frexit !!!!❤ Et vite !!!
Les français ne veulent pas de nourriture ukrainienne ! 🤮🤢
We don't want crap food. No to chlorinated chicken. The Uk seem to be ok with this though…
