@screenshothq: Replying to @http_alex Farmers have dumped a mountain of manure and straw in front of the Regional Council of Dijon. French farmers have been protesting against high taxes levied on the agricultural sector by driving through the French streets in tractors, dumping tyres in the middle of the road and covering buildings in manure. The 2023 French budget was published on 30th December 2022 and has proposed to double the tax rate on agricultural insurance policies. The tax rate on the agriculture sector has risen from 5.5% to 11% as of January 1st 2023. #france #frenchprotests #frenchfarmers #franceprotest #europe #trending #politics #protests
