Dairy farmers rallied in Paris on Thursday, voicing anger over the proposed Mercosur trade agreement and accusing President Emmanuel Macron of failing to defend French agricultural interests.
Protesters gathered with banners and placards, chanting slogans critical of both the French government and the European Union. Some demonstrators said decisions affecting France’s farming sector were being driven by Brussels, not Paris.
“Europe is running France, and Macron isn’t defending us,” one farmer said, reflecting widespread frustration among agricultural workers who fear increased competition from South American imports under the Mercosur deal.
The Mercosur agreement, which aims to reduce trade barriers between the EU and South American countries, has faced strong opposition from French farmers, particularly in the dairy and livestock sectors. Critics argue the deal would undermine domestic producers by allowing cheaper imports that do not meet the same production standards.
