Protesting farmers have France’s government in a bind

LA Times  

Protesting farmers relax by a bonfire as they block a highway in Jossigny, east of Paris, on Tuesday. Farmers have captured France’s attention by showering government offices with manure and besieging Paris with traffic-snarling barricades of tractors and hay bales. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused painful economic shocks, including higher costs, bringing farmers’ anger to a head in France and other European countries. “But we’re not getting the same revenue.” When the Ukraine war pushed up prices, Brunelle got 400 euros per ton for the wheat he grows, he says. “We’re worried because they don’t have the same regulations as us,” said Stéphanie Flament, a farmer of cereals and beets east of Paris.
