French farmers drove their tractors into Paris in a fresh protest, demanding more government support and simpler regulations ahead of a major agricultural fair. The protest, organized by the Rural Coordination union, aimed to address grievances over low earnings, heavy regulation, and unfair competition from abroad. President Emmanuel Macron cancelled a planned debate with farmers at the Paris Agricultural Fair after a controversy over an invitation extended to an ecology group, leading to criticism and a boycott call from farming unions.
