READING:

French farmers are angry. They are blocking roads around Paris. Their anger is because it is becoming more difficult to live. Energy, food and fertilizer are becoming more expensive. Farmers are also angry because the government is not protecting them from cheaper food coming from Eastern Europe. Finally, they are angry with European Union climate decisions that are adding to paperwork and the costs of doing business.

Farmers' tractors stopped traffic going in and out of Paris. They also piled smelly animal waste outside government offices. One farmer said: "We've come to defend French agriculture." Another farmer said: "Parisians are going to be hungry. The goal is to starve Parisians." Farmers carried messages that said: "The end of us would mean famine for you." A farmers union said the government must find a solution and a way out of the crisis.
