PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 22, 2025: Farmers in northern France have blocked the A16 motorway near Beauvais, north of Paris, as part of ongoing demonstrations expected to continue at least until Tuesday evening. The protest, led by the country’s main farming unions—the FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs (JA)—is in response to proposed agricultural reforms. The unions have called for road blockades and demonstrations starting Monday, May 26, for an “indefinite period,” coinciding with the French Parliament's review of a new agricultural bill. The proposed legislation aims to ease restrictions on the farming sector, including regulations on pesticide use and administrative burdens. The farming unions are worried and are denouncing a ‘betrayal’ by the MPs after an initial examination by the Assembly's committee.
