Bertrand Venteau, president of the French farmers' union Coordination rurale, has been fined 15,000 euros by the court in Auch over remarks in which he said of environmentalists, "we must make their skin". The statement was condemned as inciting violence, and the case has drawn attention amid ongoing tensions between parts of the farming world and ecological movements in France.

Why now: The court ruling against a prominent farmers' union leader for violent remarks about environmentalists touches on current tensions over agriculture and ecology in France.
