"European Farmers' Protests Escalate, Threaten Paris and Foreign Trucks"
French farmers are intensifying their protests by blocking highways and dumping imported produce, demanding action on low farmgate prices, green regulation, and free-trade policies. The protests, now in their second week, are moving closer to Paris, posing a significant challenge for new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. The farmers are calling for urgent responses from the government and have handed over a list of demands, including better enforcement of laws safeguarding farmgate prices and continued diesel tax-breaks for agricultural vehicles. The government is facing pressure to address the farmers' grievances as the protests escalate.
