First day of the show marked by boos and clashes of rare intensity. Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally, is expected in the aisles to meet farmers.

The president will stay on site for 48 hours, “to take the time,” explains those around him. The show is expected to last until the end of the month, when it will be replaced by a new show, which will be called the European Show of Agriculture. It will be the first show of its kind to be held in Europe.
