ER Editor: Despite the promise of major French farmer protests in January, things had strangely fizzled out in the last few weeks. Only to reignite today at the annual agricultural fair held in Paris. Some tweets —
“MACRON RESIGN”

Translation: While Macron caresses a cow and tastes farm products, there is war all around. These images are terrible, the disconnection is total.
Pendant que Macron caresse une vache et déguste des produits de la ferme, c’est la guerre tout autour.
Ces images sont terribles, la déconnexion est totale.#SalonDeLagriculture pic.twitter.com/UN2tVVHAMX— Marcel (@realmarcel1) February 24, 2024
Translation: EXCLUDED: farmers shout “Macron resign” at the exhibition. Images that obviously the media will not show but which must be shown to show the reality of the anger of this agricultural world rooted in its land that the globalists want to expel. The survival of our farmers depends on it.
EXCLU : les agriculteurs crient « Macron démission » au sein du salon.
Des images qu’évidemment les médias ne montreront pas mais qui doivent tourner pour montrer la réalité de la colère de ce monde agricole enraciné à sa terre que les mondialistes veulent expulser.

Translation1: We had never seen the CRS (riot police) and the BAC (security forces) at #SalonDeLagriculture It’s catastrophic: yellow vests, healthcare workers, pensioners, anti-vax pass, farmers, students… 7 years since Macron made our country hell and spent his time smashing the people!
Translation2: The angry #agriculteurs charged the police to go get Emmanuel Macron. Major incidents underway in the (Agricultural) Salon.
Jamais on avait vu des CRS et la BAC au #SalonDeLagriculture
C’est catastrophique : gilets jaunes, personnels soignants, retraites, anti-pass, agriculteurs, étudiants…
7 ans que Macron fait de notre pays un enfer et passe son temps à fracasser le peuple ! https://t.co/yzImoaCNAs— Myriam Palomba (@myriampalomba) February 24, 2024
Translation: Protection from #macron to #SalonDeLagriculture by hundreds of CRS… Without them, he does not exist. Without this violence from over-armed soldiers, he would not last 10 minutes at his post, that’s a fact.
Protection de #macron au #SalonDeLagriculture par des centaines de CRS… Sans eux, il n’existe pas. Sans cette violence de soldats surarmés, il ne tiendrait pas 10 minutes à son poste, c’est un fait. pic.twitter.com/fAbmKdaa6f

Farmers storm Paris fair, clash with police (VIDEO)
The protesters have been rallying against rising costs, taxes, and strict EU regulations
RT
French farmers stormed into a major Paris farm fair on Saturday ahead of a visit by President Emmanuel Macron, and ended up scuffling with riot police. They have been protesting restrictive EU environmental regulations, as well as rising costs and taxes.
Videos shared on social media show farmers chanting: “Macron, resign!” as they attempt to push through the riot police lines while already inside the pavilion of the fair. “This is our home!” they were also heard shouting while facing off against officers in riot gear.
At one point, a violent fight broke out, with the farmers, fair staff members, and police pushing and kicking each other. The protesters managed to break through the police lines. One clip shows the demonstrators demolishing what is claimed to be an EU stand prepared for the exhibition.
It is unclear if anyone was injured in the standoff. According to Reuters, at least one person was arrested following the clashes. French police have so far not commented on the developments. The incident took place ahead of a scheduled visit to the fair by Macron.

The French leader had breakfast with farmers’ union leaders earlier on Saturday and was also expected to hold a debate with the farmers and other agriculture sector stakeholders at the fair. The debate was canceled amid the violent protests.

“I’m saying this for all farmers: you’re not helping any of your colleagues by smashing up stands, you’re not helping any of your colleagues by making the show impossible, and in a way scaring families away from coming,” Macron told journalists. According to Reuters, the storming of the exhibition by farmers delayed the opening for the public by at least an hour.

Macron nevertheless promised to meet with farmers’ union representatives in three weeks to discuss the situation.
Farmers’ protests began in several EU nations in late January in response to strict EU policies and environmental regulations, which included cuts in subsidies. They argued that Brussels’ plans would put them out of business and threaten their livelihoods.

A very clear message to Ursula von der Leyen and her friends…..

Demonstrations were held in Germany, France, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria at the time. Paris scrapped plans to reduce subsidies on diesel for farmers in late January after protesters used tractors and other agricultural machines to block a major highway out of Paris and a road linking France to Spain. The rallies were largely suspended but resumed earlier this week.
