Farmers continue to protest in France against what they see as backbreaking regulations and livelihood-killing diesel fuel prices, raising fear in the country’s establishment that the anger could result in a strengthened populist movement.

The following report is by The Trends Journal:

Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally party, which is opposed to open immigration policies, was in Bordeaux when he told The New York Times: “This is the France of the forgotten.”

The fight for agriculture is also the fight against rural effacement, the cry of a French people who do not want to die.

He said. 

In recent weeks, farmers in France have staged protests throughout the country and have parked their tractors to shut down traffic on roads. These farmers also used their farm equipment to dump mounds of farm waste inside government buildings. A wild boar was hung outside a labor inspection office in the southwestern town of Agen, The Times reported.

Some farmers are threatening to block traffic around Paris this week if the country doesn’t do more to meet their needs, according to France 24. Their anger has only been compounded by the deaths of a farmer and her daughter who died when a car crashed into a protest barricade.

France has tried to accommodate some of the farmers’ concerns. Gabriel Attal, the new prime minister, announced last week that France will simplify some of the farming codes and a “progressive end to diesel fuel taxes of farm vehicles.”

Our farmers want to be in their fields, not in front of their screens. We are going to fight with you. We are going to fight for you.

He said, according to the paper.

These farmers lashed out against a new proposal that would end a tax break on diesel fuel used in tractors, The Times reported. The paper reminded readers that an increase in diesel prices for cars led to the Yellow Vest protests in 2018. 

France’s two major farmers unions quickly announced their decision to continue the protests because these groups said the plan does not go far enough.

The NYT report compared the French protests to other farmers’ protests in the EU, including in Germany. The paper said rural discontent has “contributed to a surge in support for the far-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD.” Rural discontent has been cited for the growth of anti-establishment parties in Europe and the U.S., the report noted. 

Christiane Lambert, the president of the Committee of Professional Agricultural Organizations (COPA), predicted that Italian and Spanish farmers would soon stage their own protests, the BBC reported. 

The paper noted that farmers have been met with such a suffocating cocktail of new regulations from the EU and France that one columnist wrote, “Being a farmer in France amounts to reading Kafka on a tractor.”

TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has reported extensively on the growth of the populist movement in the EU based on the rejection of the establishment. (See “MIGRANT MADNESS, MAD AS HELL” 2 Jan 2024, “82 PERCENT OF GERMANS DISAPPROVE OF GOVERNMENT” 12 Dec 2023, “GERMANY’S 2024 BUDGET TAKES AIM AT MIDDLE CLASS AS COUNTRY WAGES WAR AGAINST RUSSIA” 10 Oct 2023, and “‘FAR-RIGHT’ SURGES IN GERMANY AMID ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, AS WE LONG FORECAST” 27 Jun 2023.)

As we have forecast since the outbreak of the COVID War, anti-vax, anti-lockdown, anti-tax, anti-immigration, anti-establishment political parties will be strong forces as the “Greatest Depression” worsens. And the more nations impose mandates and restrictions, the deeper and faster economies will decline.

[24] There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. [26] He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

Proverbs 11:24, 26

It goes without saying that the people across the West have had enough. Most people are unaware that before 2020 a number of nations saw large scale protests and riots, and after The Covid War began to fizzle out, the people having lost even more since then, are fuming, and they have every right to be infuriated.

The problem is is these globalist elites want all this blowback, as it helps to justify their new regime change.

Be prepared, as I have warned that carbon and meat taxes are coming in short order, and that very well could spark more protests.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • The Pleb (YT channel) shows much of this in great detail also. And…he lists and shows six or seven other countries who have joined France in their protest in the same manner! My HUGE question is: where are the government leaders? We know Macron is literally dining at the king’s palace,(yesterday, The Pleb shows video footage), but where are the others? Just imagine…what if these farmers were allowed to have weapons… They’d have their country back before now!

  • I agree with the protest but did anyone ells seen that priest blessing the people, I wonder what the Vatican is going to gain by this? and what are they up to? Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) but focusing on 18.
