Food protesters used orange paint to vandalise the French National Assembly in Paris, France.

Footage shows the activists from the group ‘Food Response' carrying the buckets to the front of the building and spilling them onto the floor by the entrance on May 20.

The pair then sat on the pavement with one arm raised while wearing shirts emblazoned with 'No to the LOA'.

They claimed LOA or the Agricultural Orientation Law would prioritise businesses over food security.

Their protest coincided with the onset of discussions within the National Assembly regarding the LOA.

They said it was initially conceived to support young farmers in their endeavours, 'but the law has undergone a transformation.'

Critics argue that the LOA fails to address critical issues such as agricultural income, intergenerational renewal within the farming community, and the imperative for agroecological transition to safeguard biodiversity and natural resources.

The group added that 'instead, the law perpetuates a trajectory toward an increasingly industrialized agricultural model, disregarding the broader environmental and societal implications.'
