About 100 farmers on tractors entered Paris before dawn on Thursday to protest, mainly against a proposed free trade agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur bloc... The farmers expressed their dissatisfaction with this agreement, fearing its negative impact on local agriculture. They believe that opening the market to South American products will lead to increased competition and lower incomes. This protest is part of a broader wave of discontent among European farming communities. Participants are demanding a review of the agreement's terms and the protection of local producers' interests.
