Farmer from the Haute-Garonne department and leading figure of the nationwide farmers' protest, Jerome Bayle, looks on ahead of a visit by the French Prime Minister at a farm in Montastruc-de-Salies, southwestern France on January 26, 2024 as several farmers unions called for a nationwide day of protests and Attal is expected to make announcements to respond to their demands on pay, tax and regulations. Farmers have fumed at what they say is a squeeze on purchase prices for produce by supermarket and industrial buyers, as well as complex environmental regulations. But the last straw for many was the phasing out of a tax break on the GNL diesel for farm equipment. Photo by Patricia Huchot-Boissier/ABACAPRESS.COM
