法国农民在巴黎抗议
French farmers were angry with their government. They blocked roads around Paris, the capital city of France.
There were many reasons for the farmers’ anger. It was more difficult for them to make a living. Inflation (通货膨胀) in France increased because of high energy prices.
It made food more expensive for farmers to produce. The war in Ukraine caused higher prices, especially for fertilizers (化肥). The farmers were also angry because the government was not protecting them from cheaper food coming from other countries, especially Eastern Europe. Finally, they were mad at European Union rules about the environment, which added to the costs of doing business.
The farmers blocked major highways around Paris. They parked their tractors (拖拉机) on main roads to stop traffic going in and out of the city. They also dumped smelly agricultural waste outside government offices. Farmer Christophe Rossignol said, “We’ve come to protect French agriculture. We go from crisis (危机) to crisis.”
Another farmer said, “Parisians (巴黎人) are going to be hungry. The goal is to starve Parisians.” A large farmers’ union said, “Our aim is to put pressure on the government so that we can quickly find a solution for a way out of the crisis.” Some tractors had messages that said, “No food without farmers” and “The end of us would mean you will get hungry. ”
