„It is anger that is being expressed,“ said Arnaud Rousseau, President of the powerful Fédération Nationale des Syndicats d’Exploitants Agricoles (FNSEA) on French public broadcaster France Inter on Monday. In France, farmers are currently stepping up their actions in the countryside – in particular with blockades on the highways in southern France. These actions will be carried out „for as long as necessary throughout the week,“ warned the president of France’s largest agricultural union.
