Escalating demonstrations by French farmers against low wages and other grievances were hit by tragedy Tuesday when a woman was killed and her husband and daughter injured in a traffic collision at a protest barricade.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, newly installed by Macron in a government reshuffle this month, posted Tuesday on social media that 'being a farmer means working without respite. It's working for us, for the French. We are and will remain at their side.' The woman hit and killed by a car was a farmer, Attal said. 'All our farmers are in mourning. Our nation is shocked,' he added.
