What immediate actions did the French government commit to regarding the demands of the farmers' unions?

French farmers' unions met with Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne on Monday to discuss their demands, including a €450 million budget for crisis response and legislative simplification. The largest union, FNSEA, reported a commitment from the Prime Minister to find solutions, setting a deadline of Tuesday for concrete proposals. A rival union, Coordination Rurale, will wait for Tuesday's policy speech before deciding on further action.
