The demonstration was organized by the Patriots party in support of the farming community

French protesters tore up an EU flag during a rally in central Paris, calling for the country’s withdrawal from the bloc to protect the farming community from Brussels’ damaging policies.

The demonstration, which took place over the weekend and drew more than 1,000 people, was organized by Florian Philippot, the leader of the Patriots party, a sovereignist movement campaigning for “Frexit.”

In a video posted on his X account on Sunday, Philippot is seen holding the EU flag alongside a man he described as an “angry farmer.” The pair rip the flag in two and throw it into a cheering crowd, as demonstrators wave French tricolors.

Terminé !

Comme un nombre croissant de paysans, il sait que seul le FREXIT sauvera l’agriculture française !
