This Saturday, farmers and fishermen are demonstrating in Boulogne-sur-Mer to oppose European policies. On Thursday, the European Parliament extended trade agreements with Ukraine for another year, which could harm French farmers.
Farmers believe that products imported from Ukraine (cereals, eggs, poultry), which are very inexpensive, are causing prices to fall and therefore the selling prices of French producers. “We will continue to have actions on the ground,” says the boss of the FNSEA.
