EMMANUEL MACRON has been accused of showing “contempt” for the country’s farm sector by right-wing MP Christian Jacob, following a rash of attacks on the offices of lawmakers from the president’s party by farmers angry over a major EU-Canada trade deal.
France’s centrist government is widely seen as out of touch with the common man, with the country’s young leader described as showing contempt for lower-income workers. “Farmers are denouncing the [government’s] arrogance and contempt for the farming world,” Mr Jacob, head of the conservative bloc in the lower house, told Le Monde newspaper when asked to comment on the office attacks.
