Rodange, France, January 26, 2024 Farmers' demonstration, blocking roads of Rodange, towards Belgium and Brussels in Europe #305176980
Description
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. Around noon, the farmers met in the parking lot of the old customs office on the Franco-Belgian border. This European road axis is very busy, because it connects France to Belgium, Luxembourg and Holland. The anger of the farmers does not subside. The laws of the European Union, quantitative imports of food products, "free trade" reduce the selling prices of food products to large distributors and hypermarkets. The margins are almost zero and do not allow French farmers to align. Taxes are suffocating them financially. Many slogans alert the government and President Macron. Many farmers commit suicide and become bankrupt. The takeover of farms by young people is too difficult.
