A grassroots demonstration has spread across Europe, from France to Romania. Farmers are protesting about bad pay, difficult conditions and a bureaucratic maze of green policies that they say are unfair. ARTE Europe Weekly goes behind the barricades to understand why the sector is struggling so much.
This weekly News programme is produced by the Franco-German broadcaster ARTE and made available in 8 languages through a European media partnership formed by El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE), Telex (HU) in coordination with ARTE. The project has been made possible with EU funding within the framework of the „European Media Platforms” preparatory action.
