Northern France sees major farmer protests as key agricultural reforms face parliamentary review, sparking road blockades and rising tensions.
Farmers in northern France have blocked the A16 motorway near Beauvais, north of Paris, as part of ongoing demonstrations expected to continue at least until Tuesday evening.
The protest, led by the country’s main farming unions, the FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs (JA), is in response to proposed agricultural reforms. The unions have called for road blockades and demonstrations starting Monday, May 26, for an “indefinite period,” coinciding with the French Parliament's review of a new agricultural bill. The proposed legislation aims to ease restrictions on the farming sector, including regulations on pesticide use and administrative burdens.
The farming unions are worried and are denouncing a ‘betrayal’ by the MPs after an initial examination by the Assembly's committee.
Farmers have been blocking roads using large bundles of dried grass used for feeding livestock, deploying them as part of their protest tactics to disrupt traffic and draw attention to their cause.
Authorities have reported traffic jams and delays on the affected routes, urging travelers to seek alternative paths. The demonstrations reflect growing tensions between agricultural communities and lawmakers over the future of farming regulations in France.
The farming sector, which has faced years of challenges including falling prices and increasing costs, sees the proposed reforms as either insufficient or misguided, intensifying the conflict between farmers and the government.
