Many say the agreement threatens the future of French agriculture, already strained by rising costs and tightening regulations.

Unions behind the protest insist that the French government must take a firmer stance to block the deal at the EU level. With negotiations nearing a potential conclusion, farmers warn that demonstrations will continue — and likely grow — unless their concerns are addressed.
