The French farmers are protesting against the ban on the most popular herbicide

Approximately three hundred French farmers protested on Friday in Paris on the Champs-Elysées Boulevard against the planned ban on glyphosate herbicides. Emmanuel Macron head of state had promised in the election campaign to ban glyphosate herbicides.

The farmers, with the help of the largest agrarian organization the FNSA, littered one of the busiest crossroads of the avenue with hay. The farmers were dressed in black and were holding posters saying “Macron kills farmers”, and they blocked the famous avenue before the morning rush hour. (MTI)
