Longwy, France, January 26, 2024 Farmers' Demonstration, Blocking Roads Of Rodange, Towards Belgium And Brussels In Europe Editorial Photo

More than 70 tractors and agricultural vehicles use the road to slow down car traffic heading towards Belgium and Brussels, the European capital. It rains a lot but that doesn't stop the farmers from being determined to make their demands heard. Taxes and excessive imports of fruit, vegetables and meat from Europe are driving down purchase prices by large distributors. Strangled by charges and taxes, the profession of farmer becomes inaccessible for young farm operators. On the other side of the road, at the former Franco Belge customs, Belgian farmers are also slowing down the traffic of trucks and cars because they too encounter the same problems. the anger of the farmers does not subside.
