Farmers across Europe have escalated their protests against new agricultural policies, tax increases, subsidy cuts, and the impact of Ukrainian grain imports. Romanian farmers continued to blockade border checkpoints with Ukraine despite an agreement with the government, affecting the Halmeu-Diakove and Dyakovo-Halmeu crossings, although they later lifted the blockade at one point. French farmers, expressing their discontent with globalist policies and failed negotiations, have blocked highways near Toulouse and other regions, with the largest farm union FNSEA considering nationwide protests.
