Paris, tension at the Agricultural Fair during Macron's visit: clashes break out between police and demonstrators – Video

Moments of tension this morning between farmers and the police at the Paris Agricultural Show, where activists from the Fnsea, Young Farmers and Rural Coordination unions forced a gate and broke into the premises to protest against the recent environmental regulations, bureaucracy and low incomes. Tensions and clashes erupted as French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at the Fair to speak with unions. “This is our house! Resign,” was the cry of the demonstrators. Macron's response was not long in coming: “I say it to all farmers: you will not help any of your colleagues by destroying the stands, you will not help any of your colleagues by making the show impossible and in a certain sense It scares the families who will not come,” he said in a statement following the clashes.
