I am by no means an expert on French politics, but I posted this because this is not just supposed to be a US-politics community lol. I thought this was an interesting couple paragraphs:

Now the farmer unions are paying the price. The RN has kicked two of their favorite European lawmakers out of Brussels: center-right heavyweight Anne Sander (from Les Républicains, the French wing of the European People’s Party) and liberal Jérémy Decerle (from Macron’s “Liste L’Europe Ensemble” in the Renew group), who was JA president from 2016 to 2019.

Both are committed livestock farmers, with Sander recently spearheading an unsuccessful attempt to exclude large poultry and pig facilities from an EU law reducing industrial emissions of greenhouse gasses.

I guess it probably goes without saying they shouldn’t have trusted Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party.

Domestically, France is also having a legislative freeze where a landmark agricultural law is now stuck - a law that would have addressed many French farmer’s complaints.

From the outside-looking-in, I get they were frustrated, but voting for the far-right just made things worse for them and everyone else.
