European Farmers' Revolt Against Green Policies Shakes Political Landscape

Farmers' protests across Europe challenge green agendas, leading to political shifts and policy concessions.

Widespread farmers' protests in Europe, starting in the Netherlands in 2019, have escalated, affecting major cities and changing the political landscape.
The protests have led to significant policy concessions from the European Commission, including scaling back on climate regulations for agriculture.
Populist and far-right parties are gaining momentum in Europe, partly due to the farmers' protests, with potential impacts on the upcoming European Parliament elections.
French farmers' power is highlighted by recent government concessions, including less red tape and extra subsidies, amid protests against falling incomes and excessive regulations.
The revolt is seen as a major challenge to the EU's green deal, with farmers demanding relief from environmental restrictions and questioning the transition towards a more sustainable society.
