Social Tensions Persist After Farmers Defy Paris Convoy Ban

Bertrand Venteau announced that Rural Coordination members would enter Paris despite a government ban on tractor convoys following a failed meeting with the Prime Minister.The protest arises from frustration over low wheat prices and the Mercosur trade agreement while agricultural unions seek better conditions.This defiance occurred alongside record-breaking snowfall that paralyzed the region with over 1,000 kilometers of traffic jams and flight cancellations.
