The farmers say such policies are destroying their ability to stay in business.
Farmers in neighbouring Belgium also set up barricades to stop traffic reaching some of the main highways, including into the capital, Brussels. Similar demonstrations are taking place in Germany and Italy.
Breitbart reports: In an escalation of the latest example of popular uprisings that have come to define President Macron’s tenure in office, farmers descended in their tractors to shut down major highways leading into Paris on Monday following a week of similar protests throughout the country.
According to the Le Figaro newspaper, farmers successfully enacted blockades on eight major highways, with tractors lined up for tens of kilometres around the ring road surrounding Paris. In total 16 highways and 30 administrative departments around the city were impacted by the demonstrations on Monday, while separate farmer uprisings continued in at least 40 other locations throughout the country.
