French Peasant Revolt: Nine in Ten Support Farmer Protests Against Globalist Government
by Kurt Zindulka
The French public overwhelmingly supports the farmers, with nearly nine in ten backing their protest against globalist policies from Eurocrats in Brussels and President Macron’s government in Paris.
According to an Odoxa-Backbone Consulting survey conducted on behalf of the Le Figaro newspaper, 89 per cent of the French public support the tractor protest of the nation’s farmers as they have risen up against EU green agenda policies, overregulation, increased fuel taxes and prices, and unfair pricing practices from supermarket chains.
The survey found that the support for the farmers spanned the political spectrum, with 97 per cent of centre-right Les Republicains voters backing the farmers, followed by 95 per cent of right-wing populist National Rally (RN) voters, and 94 per cent of Socialist Party voters. Support dropped slightly among Green party and leftist La France Insoumise (LFI) voters at 88 and 87 per cent respectively.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, supporters of President Emmanuel Macron were the least favourable of the farmers, with 81 per cent saying that they support the movement, but just 38 per cent saying they “completely” back the farmers.
