French Farmers Drive Tractors Into Paris Over Costs and Regulation
French farmers have taken tractors into central Paris, escalating protests over rising costs, falling incomes, and regulatory pressure, according to reporting by Reuters.
The demonstrations reflect growing frustration across the French farming sector over fuel prices, environmental rules, and competition from imports produced under different standards. Protest leaders argue that current policies are undermining farm viability and accelerating exits from agriculture.
The unrest adds to wider tensions across Europe, where farmers are increasingly pushing back against climate measures and trade policies they say place disproportionate burdens on domestic producers.
