French farmers are really mad at their government. They’re blocking highways and even caused an explosion at a government building.

The farmers feel the government isn’t helping them enough, especially with rising costs and strict rules. The government delayed some reforms, but the farmers want more action.

Young people don’t want to be farmers anymore, and many farms are closing. The farmers are also upset about higher taxes on their fuel and not getting fair prices for their products.

They blame the European Union too. The far-right National Rally is using the farmers’ anger for their own gain. The situation is heating up, and the farmers are ready to protest in Paris if the government doesn’t listen.
