Farmers Protest - Melun

Two farmers members of the FDSEA (Departmental Federation of Agricultural Unions and Operators) with Laurence Fournier (R), farmer in the town of Aubepierre-Ozouer-Le-Repos on January 25, 2024 in Melun, south of Paris, France. France's powerful farming unions on January 22, met with French Prime Minister after threatening the government with a week or more of protest action if their demands were not met. The unions have demanded concrete government action to address their grievances, which they say include excessive financial charges and environmental protection rules as well as insufficient prices for their produce.
