TL;DR Summary
French farmers stormed into a major Paris farm fair ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's visit, protesting over costs, red tape, and green regulations.

Macron, who met with union leaders, canceled a planned debate at the fair and instead promised to convene farmers' union representatives and other stakeholders at the Elysee palace in three weeks. The protests come amid ongoing concerns about the political fallout and represent a growing constituency for the far right in European Parliament elections.
