Farmers have been blocking roads across France in protest at what they say are deteriorating conditions in the agriculture sector. The southwestern Occitanie region has been the starting point of the mobilization, with blockades gradually spreading to other regions north of Paris and in Brittany. The powerful FNSEA farmers' union has announced actions all this week and beyond if the government failed to respond to its demands.
