French Farmers' Protests Spread Across Europe Ahead of EU Summit

Farmers are protesting against increased taxes, unfair supermarket practices, and European agriculture policies, causing major traffic disruptions and spreading to neighboring countries.

French farmers have been protesting for over two weeks against increased taxes, European agriculture policies, and rising costs of fuel and animal feed.
Farmers are also protesting against big supermarket chains that are paying them below market rates for their products.
The protests have resulted in major traffic disruptions, with tractors blocking highways and access roads to Paris.
The farmers' movement is spreading to neighboring countries, with roads being blocked in Belgium and farmers' unions in Spain preparing their own protests.
The European Union is holding a summit on Thursday to address the farmers' concerns.
