"French Farmers' Protests Escalate: From Tractor Blockades to Soup Hurling"

French farmers are pressuring the government for better remuneration, less red tape, and protection against cheap imports, with plans to use tractors to head towards Paris, prompting a large deployment of security forces. Climate activists also hurled soup at the glass protecting the “Mona Lisa” at the Louvre Museum, advocating for a sustainable food system. The government announced measures that farmers say don't fully address their demands, leading to ongoing protests and road blockades across France.
