FRANCE-AGRICULTURE-PROTEST

Protesters cook food on barbecues at a tractor blockade on the A6 highway near Chilly-Mazarin, south of Paris, on February 1, 2024, as French farmers maintain roadblocks on key highways into Paris for a fourth day, as part of nationwide protests called by several farmers' unions over pay, tax and regulations. France's showed little sign on February 1 of abandoning their protest despite government concessions in response to a movement that has spread nationwide and elsewhere in Europe. Seven blockades were in place on motorways around Paris, throttling access to the capital as farmers in tractors were running a go-slow on the A9 motorway linking to Spain.
