66 French farmers arrested during Champs-Élysées protest against environmental rules, imports, and low incomes.
66 French farmers were arrested during a protest on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, blocking traffic near President Emmanuel Macron's office. The protestors, part of the Rural Coordination collective, aimed to "save French agriculture" amid concerns over restrictive environmental rules, competition from cheap imports, and low incomes. This marks the latest in a series of demonstrations across France and Europe by farmers facing rising costs, falling revenues, and financial distress.
