The farmers' protests, called by the FNSEA (National Federation of Agricultural Holders' Unions) and Young Farmers union, continue throughout France against the agreement between the EU member countries and the Mercosur trading bloc to be finalized in the next few weeks. Demonstrators and unions say that increased agricultural imports from South America would weaken European farmers. In 2023, massive farmers' protests against cheap imports blocked parts of France's transport infrastructures. EPA/CAROLINE BLUMBERG
