French farmers attack foreign trucks and destroy goods - EU country issues travel warning. Ten tons of meat were apparently destroyed in one incident alone.
With the announced blockades, including in Paris, the situation is now getting even worse. Farmers' dissatisfaction has been blazing for months. Falling income, EU environmental regulations and other requirements and the increase in agricultural diesel fueled the anger of many farmers. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal made far-reaching promises of aid to farmers on Friday. These included, among other things, the withdrawal of taxation on agricultural diesel.
