A group of angry French farmers stormed into a Paris agriculture fair on Saturday before a planned visit by Emmanuel Macron, amid anger over costs and regulations. Facing dozens of police officers inside the fair, the farmers shouted and booed, calling for the French president’s resignation and using expletives aimed at him. There were some clashes and police arrested at least one protester, a Reuters witness saw. Farmers have been protesting across Europe, calling for better income and less bureaucracy and denouncing unfair competition from cheap imported goods
