Hundreds of farmers protested at the Salon de l\'Agriculture in Paris over pay, rising costs, and regulations, leading to clashes with police. President Macron faced anger for not addressing their concerns, proposing a debate that worsened tensions. Macron called for calm after a small group raided the fair, reinforcing controls on fair food pricing. He canceled a debate with farmers due to a controversial group\'s alleged presence. Macron plans an emergency cash-flow plan for struggling farms and a meeting with agricultural representatives to discuss future progress.
