Protesting farmers in France are defying the government’s warnings and continue to advance towards major cities with convoys of tractors. Despite concessions offered by President Macron, the farmers are pushing for better pay, reduced bureaucracy, and protection from foreign competition. The head of the farmers association in Lot-et-Garonne expressed pride in the protesters and their fight for survival. The government has warned farmers to stay away from key locations like Rungis market and has deployed police to defend strategic spots. The farmers have resumed their drive towards Rungis despite the warnings. The government’s promises and concessions have not satisfied the farmers, who feel that they do not go far enough. The protests have also spread to other countries in Europe, with Spanish farmers joining in solidarity with their French and other European counterparts.
