French deputies overwhelmingly approved the emergency agricultural bill in its first reading on Tuesday, June 2, with 369 votes in favor and 178 against. The government aims for Senate amendments, with the right-leaning Senate set to review it from June 29. The bill seeks to address issues like unfair competition, water access, land protection, and farmer income, though some left-wing groups criticized it for favoring agro-industry over small farmers.
