President Macron’s government has promised wide-ranging concessions to farmers as it seeks to curtail protests that have led to dozens of roadblocks across France.
Gabriel Attal, 34, the prime minister, was sent to a dairy farm in Montastruc-de-Salies, in the southwest, in an attempt to calm the anger that has blazed through the countryside.
Attal said the government “has got the message loud and clear”, adding that agriculture was its No 1 priority. “We are going to act on all fronts.”
INCREDIBLE SCENES
The farmers have lined up hundreds of tractors in protest on Le Touquet beach where French President Macron has a holiday house.
