Why French farmers are protesting in Paris: 'Jeremy Clarkson's right'

  • A tractor blockade established at eight points around Paris is intended to “starve Parisians”, a French farmer has claimed.
    Benoit Durand, a grain farmer, told French broadcaster BFM TV: “We are holding a siege in Chartres, one hour away from Paris. It’s part of the blockade... the goal is to put pressure on the government.”
    ”[Blockading Paris] will happen naturally. Parisians are going to be hungry. The goal is to starve Parisians. That’s it”.
    Around 800 tractors have surrounded the capital as farmers protest what they say are stringent environmental regulations, red tape and low pay.
    Near Beauvais, north of Paris, dozens of tractors lined the highway in one of many such protests across the country, displaying banners that read: “Our end will be your hunger” - a play on the similar-sounding French words fin (end) and faim (hunger).
    Armoured police vehicles were deployed to Rungis on Monday after some farmers threatened to “occupy” it. Over 8,000 tons of goods pass through its market every day to feed nearly 12 million people.
    In the event of major disruption, Paris would only have three days’ food supplies, as deliveries are made every day, according to government agency Ademe.

      Actually...that's the very first time I hear Jeremy Clarkson mentionned in this context (or mentionned at all to be honest).
      The Clarkson's farm is not even a popular tv show (it's on a paying channel, and most farmers simply don't have the time to watch this kind of things, at least the ones I know).
      My guess is that the reporter chose this specific declaration because it's a reference most british people would get (as opposed to many french analysts/columnists who are well known in France, but wouldn't ring a bell to anyone outside the country).

      Are they essential tough? Sure a system of small farmers with higher food prices might be good for the economy and their lives. But an abusive system where a few big landowners produce food on the backs of impoverished farm hands more cheaply and at higher quality also is possible. Not to mention just importing more food
      They are in no way essential, but they might be a better choice than the alternative

      oh, that's usually how protests happen in france - the government in fact kept pushing laws to make it harder to legally attack riot cops for abuse of power and physical aggression by removing any identifying markers from them, and in protests in the last few years under Macron, there's been many cases of people being maimed by 40mm rubber rounds from grenade launchers, amongst other things

    • @Eliphaser
      @Eliphaser 3 месяца назад +4

      @@FreedomPuppy there's the issue that more sustainable ways of farming does reduce crop yield - at least for a time, and generally requires more effort to harvest, so more people, so more money to pay them, and it just doesn't compete with imported food from outside of europe that doesn't even need to meet the quality certifications imposed on european farmers, thus being far, far cheaper
      in france at least, most of the money given to farmers actually just goes to big corporate holdings that own a large portion of farmlands, and little else goes to smaller farmers, and corporate types are mostly about maximising profits rather than being eco-friendly and sustainable, so that doesn't help the case
