French farmers' union calls for more protests in May

French farmers' union FNSEA called for new protests starting May 26, 2024, to pressure the government in France.
This call followed failed government promises after earlier protests in February and March 2024, which disrupted over 70 autoroutes.
The protests oppose trade policies like the Mercosur agreement and support the agriculture bill projet de loi Duplomb, aiming to remove constraints on farmers.
FNSEA leader Arnaud Rousseau said, "This is intolerable for us" and stressed the need for concrete actions on farms including water and production issues.
The renewed protests suggest ongoing tensions between farmers and the government, while details of the May actions remain unclear as debate on the bill begins.
