Angry French farmers storm Paris agricultural show before president due to visit

 Protestin French fearmer clashed with police and called for president to resign amid chaotic scenes as exhibitors and visitors at the Paris Agricultural Show anticipated the arrival of President Macon on Friday (23 February). Although the recent major protests by people involved in agriculture has died down in the past two weeks the farmers anger at the policies of Macton's globalist government and the EU commisssion is still simmering just below its flashpoint. 

A group of farmers stormed a major Paris farm fair today ahead of a planned visit by  President Macron amid anger over rising costs, particularly of energy, bureaucratic restrictions and green regulations linked to the EU wide 'net zero' policy. The farmers claim a combination of these things is making the profitable operation of a farm impossible, a point which is difficult to refute,

Confronted by dozens of police officers on duty at the trade fair, the farmers were shouting and booing, calling for the French president’s resignation.

“This is our home!”, they shouted, as French CRS riot police tried to contain the demonstration and keep the protests away from Macron. There were some violent clashes between police and demonstrators and several arrests were made.

“I’m saying this for all farmers: you’re not helping any of your colleagues by smashing up stands, you’re not helping any of your colleagues by making the show impossible, and in a way scaring families away from coming,” Mr Macron told reporters after a meeting with union leaders.

The troubles in France, Germany, Netherlands and several more of the 27 member EU's major economies has been made inevitable by globalism, the creeping destruction of farming on the basis of some dubious and unscientific 'climate change' claims, which have been linked without a shred of verifiable evidence has been linked to carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. Does it not seem strange, reader, how 'the science' relating to agriculture's role in climate change is focused on meat, cow farts, chicken manure, fossil fuels used to heat accomodation for livestock etc. 
 
 Cows in a natural cycle of carbon - animals that have been doing the same job for humanity since before industrialisation, turning grass into first class protein that the human digestive system cannot get from vegetables. 
 
Fight for the right to eat meat or you will be left with beans, crickets and legumes and soy for your protein. the impact of mono crops being shipped around the world... the impact of junk food.... let's ignore that. rotting vegetation, fire ants, clams, vegans farting.. ".Decaying dead plants and leaves, known as plant litter, release 60 petagrams of carbon into the atmosphere every year – six times more than all human emissions – and contribute around 10% of the total amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.9 Jan 2023"
 
The Paris farm show is a major event in France, annually attracting around 600,000 visitors over nine days. It was meant to open at 9am on Friday. The doors were still closed at 0838 GMT, following the storming by angry farmers.

In a sign of tensions between French farmers and the government, Mr Macron cancelled a debate he wanted to hold at the fair today with farmers, food processors and retailers, after farmers unions said they would not take part.
