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

A pedestrian walks past tractors and EU and French flags in front of the Prefecture of the Marne during a nationwide protest against EU-Mercosur agreement in Chalons-en-Champagne, north-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.
