French farmer Jose Bove raises his fist as he leaves the Villeneuve les Maguelonne jail in the south of France, Tuesday September 7, 1999. Bove, leader of a radical farmers' union, was jailed for nearly three weeks for demonstrating against McDonald's restaurants. The small Farmers Confederation has made McDonald's the main target in a wave of sometimes violent protests, decrying the fast-food chain as a symbol of American trade hegemony and economic globalization.(AP Photo/Christophe Ena). http://accuweather.ap.org/ |
