Furious French farmers stage fiery protest after burning tyres and waste over state subsidies row

Furious French farmers set tires and waste on fire on Friday (January 26) along the A20 highway, protesting a government plan to gradually reduce state subsidies on agricultural diesel. Footage also showed garbage being dumped outside a government office in the town of Montauban. The French government later announced it would drop plans to phase out state support on diesel but that has not been enough to assuage farmers who have threatened to converge on the capital Paris in their tractors. #french #farmers #protest Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook: Daily Mail IG: Daily Mail Snap: Daily Mail Twitter: Daily Mail Pinterest: Furious French farmers stage fiery protest after burning tyres and waste over state subsidies row Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: Furious French farmers stage fiery protest after burning tyres and waste over state subsidies row
