Meurthe et Moselle, France, January 26, 2024 Angry farmers block the highway to Belgium, slow down traffic, assert their grievances against the European Union, Emmanuel Macron and his government. Too many taxes, not enough financial aid, unequal laws in other European countries. Throughout France for two weeks, farmers have been very angry about "free trade" between the countries of the European Union. Some laws prohibit them from using pesticides or fertilizers, but France imports products from other countries in Europe that use these products. With their leitmotif "we walk on our heads" They try to explain to French consumers that they must be careful about what we buy in fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, organic, because large commercial retailers want to obtain the prices the lowest to make big profits, but which French farmers cannot sell at a loss, and no longer earn a living. There are more than 500 farmer suicides in France each year. The situation is dramatic. Overall, the vast majority of French people support these protest actions and try to understand the current political problem.
