More than 70,000 French farmers mobilized en masse in protests, expressing their dissatisfaction with the government's agricultural policies, BFMTV reported. The French National Federation of Agricultural Holders' Unions (FNSEA) reported that over 41,000 tractors were part of the large-scale demonstrations that took place throughout the country.

FNSEA President Arnaud Rousseau had earlier warned that the protests would escalate, reaching 85 of the 96 departments in metropolitan France by Friday. The farmers are opposing the government's agricultural policies, citing concerns that these measures render their products economically uncompetitive.
