Agricultural crisis: tractors parked outside the Palace of Versailles

Description

Two days before the end of the Paris International Agricultural Show, a convoy of twenty tractors led by activists from the farmers union the Coordination rurale is parked in front of the Palace of Versailles. "We're continuing the movement because we're not being heard (...), we've got band-aids and little envelopes of cash, but that's not going to move things forward," laments Nicolas Bonguay, president of the CR in the Doubs region of eastern France.
