This week, the farmers’ protests struck at the heart of the European Union, when they rolled into Brussels on Thursday as leaders held a major summit on Ukraine. The EU has waived quotas and duties on Ukrainian imports in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “In Germany, it was really focused on diesel, so starting to tax diesel for tractors. France this week announced a series of measures for farmers in light of the protests. This has already been seen in Germany, when the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) involved itself in the protests and expressed solidarity with the farmers.

A farmer pulls waste to block the RN 19 near in Vesoul, eastern France, on January 25, 2024. French farmers blocked highways and dumped crates of imported produce on Thursday, demanding urgent action on low farmgate prices, green regulation and free-trade policies as swelling protests moved closer to Paris. "We always have more rules to follow, we are always asked for more and we earn less and less. On the southwestern edge of Paris, dozens of tractors led a go-slow during the morning rush-hour. Asked when the protesters would lift roadblocks, Gaillot said to ask Attal: "It is he who holds the key."

A video of a French farmer dumping manure outside a McDonald’s in eastern France to protest fast-food outlets that import foreign meat products has been falsely claimed online to be about Israel’s war with Hamas. Yannick Augrandenis, an associate at the communications consultancy representing McDonald’s France, told Reuters in an email that the video shows the Nov. 24 protest. This included 21,950 tonnes of beef for minced steaks used in McDonald’s recipes and 18,001 tonnes of chicken, which meant nuggets were 100% French meat, the statement said. The video shows a farmers’ protest over fast-food chains importing meat, not the Israel-Hamas war. This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.
