In Paris, farmers on tractors demonstrate against the agricultural bill

Farmers in Paris, driving tractors, made their way to the National Assembly building to express their discontent ahead of the start of discussions on a new bill regulating agriculture and the use of pesticides. Specifically, French farmers are demanding improvements to agricultural conditions and simplifying the practical aspects of this process.

According to the Le Parisien report, about 200 people and many tractors participated in the demonstration. The tractors, adorned with flags, stopped in front of the parliament building, and flags of workers' unions were visible. The farmers are protesting against many regulatory and environmental amendments in the new bill.

Over the 18 months that they have been expecting positive changes from the government, farmers are now doubtful about the passage of this bill. They are concerned about possible amendments, such as allowing farmers to fill reservoirs due to drought. Environmental activists, on the other hand, fear that such decisions could have a negative impact on the environment.

As part of the demonstration, farmers are carrying out "slow-moving operations," meaning they are moving at low speeds and attempting to block traffic. In this way, they are slowing down traffic, causing delays in the consideration of the bill. They are calling for the simplification of bureaucracy and easing the certification process for their activities.

Similar situations have also been observed in some agricultural colonies in Sweden. This protest is also linked to similar demonstrations by farmers held a few weeks ago in northern France, in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais departments. These events highlight the farmers' struggle to protect their rights and create the necessary conditions for their work.

Through these actions, farmers aim to bring public attention to legislative changes and amendments that are crucial for agriculture. They oppose many new rules in regulating their activities and demand the creation of more favorable conditions for farmers.

Many people are supporting this action, which signifies the beginning of new events and discussions regarding agriculture in France.
