2020s French farmers' protests

Common card · No. 384935

The 2020s French farmers' protests are a series of protests and road blockages organized non unionized farmers and agricultural unions (FNSEA, Young Farmers, Rural Coordination, Confédération paysanne) since 18 January 2024. The farmers protested against low food prices, proposed reductions in state subsidies for farmers' diesel fuel, and a EU-Mercosur free trade agreement. In response to the protests, Gabriel Attal's government scrapped proposed reductions in government subsidies for agricultural diesel and other measures to reduce financial and bureaucratic burdens for farmers, but the protests persisted.
