It is reported that farmers staged riots and caused damage to property. After that, they were taken out of the market by the guards.

Mass demonstrations of farmers are currently taking place in France against the background of discontent among industry representatives with falling incomes due to inflation and increased imports of agricultural products from Ukraine. They also advocate simplification of bureaucratic procedures related to EU requirements and less stringent regulation of agriculture.
