FRANCE-AGRICULTURE-POLITICS-LATAM-SOCIAL-MERCOSUR-DEMO

Farmers drive tractors as they take part in a protest organised by members of FDSEA 67 (Federation Departementale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles) and "Jeunes Agriculteurs 67" (JA-Young Farmers) as part of a nationwide protest against the EU-Mercosur agreement, at the Pont de l'Europe (Europe bridge) crossing the border between France and Germany, over the Rhine river in Strasbourg, eastern France, on November 18, 2024. Farmers complain about excessive bureaucracy and low incomes, but they're also fed up with poor harvests and losses from emerging animal diseases. Farmers also protest against the free-trade agreement between the European Union and the Latin American countries of Mercosur, with Paris leading resistance against ratification of the deal that would create the world's largest free trade zone.
