For 15 days, farmers have been screaming their anger. The latter have many demands, starting with their remuneration. They also ask France to fight against unfair competition from other European countries. The latter would not apply standards as strict as French farmers. In addition, some unions are also expressing their anger against environmental rules considered too strict. Like the obligation not to produce on 4% of their land to promote biodiversity.
After several days of blockages throughout the country, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal finally spoke this Thursday, February 1, 2024. He gave his approval to most of the federation’s demands, promising in particular to “liberate” and “protect” the operators. Decisions which made it possible to lift certain blockages in France but still considered insufficient for certain farmers.
