FRANCE-FARMERS-DEMONSTRATION

Charente-Maritime Prefect, Beatrice Abollivier, speaks with farmers who gave her a calf as farmers from the French farmers unions FNSEA (Federation Nationale des Syndicats d'Exploitants Agricoles) and the JA (Jeunes Agriculteurs, or Young Farmers union) demonstrate in La Rochelle on November 5, 2014. France is facing widespread farmer strikes across the country on November 5, protesting their increasing constraints and charges, the collapsing prices of cereals, milk and vegetables, caused in part by the sanctions on Russia, as well as rising fertiliser prices.
