FRANCE-AGRICULTURE-PROTEST

An effigy of French President Emmanuel Macron and a placard reading "Attal, here are 11 tons of proof of love" hang on a tractor blocking the A1 highway near Chennevieres-les-Louvres, close to the Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, northwest of Paris, on January 31, 2024, as French farmers maintain roadblocks on key highways into Paris for a third day, as part of nationwide protests called by several farmers' unions over pay, tax and regulations. Convoys of tractors edged closer to Paris, Lyon and other strategic locations in France on January 31, as thousands of protesting farmers appeared to ignore warnings of police intervention if they cross red lines laid down by ministers. Farmers' unions, unimpressed by concessions offered by the president's government, encouraged their members to fight on for higher incomes, less red tape and protection from foreign competition.
