Rural producers demonstrate against the agricultural policies of the European Union. This Saturday they meet with President Emmanuel Macron to seek solutions.
The farmers are targeting the Agricultural Hall in the Porte de Versailles, south of the capital. They complain that the 27-nation bloc's environmental policies, such as the Green Deal, limit their business and make their products more expensive relative to imports from outside of the block. The French farmers' protests are part of a broader movement across Europe against the EU's agricultural policy, bureaucracy and general conditions.
