Agricultural Show: Emmanuel Macron reaped the anger of demonstrators – (France 2)
A tense day. The inauguration of the Agricultural Show in Paris on Saturday February 24 was marked by clashes, whistles and clashes. Emmanuel Macron, however, tried to appease the anger of the demonstrators during a somewhat improvised debate.
Hundreds of angry farmers forced the event through before it opened at 8 a.m. on Saturday February 24. Overwhelmed, the police had to face a horde of demonstrators chanting “Macron resign”. Clashes took place with the CRS, while the president met with agricultural unions. At 9:30 a.m., Emmanuel Macron called on the demonstrators to calm down.
Emmanuel Macron whistled and booed all day
The anger of the farmers has not subsided, who speak in particular of a “provocation“. Against all expectations, Emmanuel Macron, after having canceled it the day before, finally improvised a debate with farmers. The Agricultural Show was finally inaugurated under the whistles at the beginning of the afternoon, with four hours late. The president was able to wander around, before the resumption of hostilities around 4 p.m. The head of state notably denounced a political coup by the National Rally.
