Farmers Block A16 Motorway - Pas-de-Calais
Farmers block the A16 motorway with their tractors on January 29, 2024 near Wailly Beaucamp, north of France. French police warned that about 1,000 farmers and 500 tractors were barricading roads across France, and the protests could intensify this week over farmers’ demands for better prices for their produce and more government support. The new prime minister, Gabriel Attal, told parliament on Tuesday that French farming is “our strength and pride”. He promised France would work to extend an exemption on EU fallow land rules and Paris would set up an emergency fund for struggling wine producers alongside other help for farmers. But the farming crisis looked likely to continue all week. Photo by Jarry S/ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM
