Farmers drive their tractors on the ring road of Rennes, western France, on February 1, 2024, as part of nationwide protests called by several farmers' unions over pay, tax and regulations. France's government offered a slew of new concessions on February 1, 2024, to farmers, hoping to calm anger behind tractor blockades of major roads nationwide as farmers have been out in force for more than a week in protests triggered by an agricultural fuel duty hike, complaining their pay is squeezed, taxes are too high and regulations too onerous.
