- French farmers demanding just prices and less bureaucratic red tape began lifting blockades across the country on Friday after the government made further concessions.
President Emmanuel Macron’s government has pledged it will scrap plans to raise tax contributions on tractor diesel, ease pesticide regulations, and put a pause on new fallow land rules and additional safety checks on food imports.
“We’re not 100 per cent satisfied. It’s certain that there have been measures taken, it’s always better than nothing, but hey, we’re not going to give up,” said Guillaume Chantereau.
The pause in the protest will bring some respite ahead of France’s agricultural show, which takes place every year at the end of February.
Meanwhile, the protests that started in France have now spread to other European countries - including Belgium, where Dutch and Belgian farmers banded together to block the border between Belgium and the Netherlands on Friday.

Well, then go do that. Lol
Subsidies are part of the problem, they become dependant on the state in order to survive. As for being rich, sure thing, big enterprises grow rich, as it is the case in every sector. I can assure you nobody with less than 400Ha can sustain a high lifestyle. The amount of money one has to invest in machinery, let land aside, in order to make a living is crazy. Other businesses require much less to turn more profit. Farming is something you have to like in order to do, because it really doesn't make any economical sense
Beautiful. The many need to hold the few accountable, nothing wrong with that.
Nothing change since the middle age ! The castle habitants always collect the best parts of every hard working peoples ! Is it not ? 😅
Coming to Canada soon
Terrific stuff from European farmers
lol
This is a kind reminder of the meaning of the word terrific, it depicts the opposite of terrible ie. something overly good and beneficial
Macron, Trudeau and Biden must go.
To the hospice
To prison
Go farmers,! Go truckers.
BREAKING: "Federal judge announces Trump Jan. 6 trial in DC delayed indefinitely."
Confucius says never take your eyes off a 2 headed snake
Exactly. In the west we say. Squirrel.
History knows what we ignore
Take care the farmers and they will take care of you.
Climate change regulations has gone too far, time to get some common sense.
they call it climate change years ago it was and still is called change in the weather.
Global employees don't deserve the results of farmers.
Do global employees deserve the food that farmers grow
No they don’t, this will come to Canada! If agenda 2030 continues to be pushed there will not just be protests, you can be sure of that.
You know who's not protesting... British farmers!
Radical French beat farmers Macron needs arrest this lot
They got other problems..and not part of EU.speaks volumes
Good riddance to unelected unaccountable bureaucrats. @@anneloving8405 UK can negotiate their own trade deals without the other head aches.
The British don't really protest though. Its in the French blood to protest.
Oust Micron
Hmm when the Canadian farmers going to protest
It's coming. The convoy was nothing in comparison to what's coming.
@@Oo-Pitbull-oO I’ll join them…
Were the peasants bought for a pittance. The rentiers will not stop.
The European farmers will have to canonize a new Patron Saint: “Our Lady of Sorroes, Ursula von der Leyen...”
Thanks for acknowledging their grief with the climate change proposals. So many news outlets saying it’s about simple wages…
Please support famers... They are the blood line...
Will make not difference in the eventual outcome
Nothings at this point is gonna stop them but at least you can say you tried a bit
I think one of the protesters there was a Canadian.
Why?
It's the winter and the guy was wearing his shorts...
Full support to the farmers👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
They are so serious 🧐 about this happening not good very bad needs to Stop 🛑
Is this regarding to EU farming carbon tax? They should really be consider and be precise on how tax should be carried out, but again, nobody likes paying taxes.
Nvm I lied, I did my research so it might be red tape, zoning and restructure costs farmers cannot get benefits and makes its life harder. They don’t get government welfare because they don’t have money to restructure their farm into environmentally standard conditions. Environmentally friendly fertilizer? All electric farm vehicle? Proper worker working hour and benefits? Low emission methods and farm facilities? *spit* does these farmer looks like they can afford it? It should just be handed to them for free, liberal governments.
so low margin income things like farm goods aren’t making much of anything. Farm isn’t big source of revenue, but it’s kinda important, what if some stupid events triggers another food inflation….but these farms are so outdated production isn’t exactly keen to cover food securities, so it’s whatever, it’s not like it an individual operation could suddenly 3x the production based on demands, unless they can, that would be interesting, the real food production this world can offer instead of whatever’s on the surface.
Farmers subsidies were used to extend the war support to Ukraine..
The problem with the war economy would be little accountability where these money would be gone . Look at Gaza agency aid corruption
Coming to a government near you? 😮
Uuuhhhhhhhh uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Modern Jacquou….
A trade union should not steal your sovereignty as a country, no to laws applied by eu dictatorship
thanks state news ... you are the problem
I errerrrrrrrrrrr support you eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wel eeeerrrrrrrr done errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
You make consenssions when you are threatened ahahhaahaha
Whats this about?
It's all about not earning enough money, low standard imports undercutting their produce. and the government forcing un reasonable environmental goals onto farmers, basically farmers are fed up with getting the blame for climate change,
