A year after the start of the agricultural protest, farmers are mobilizing again. In their viewfinder this time, the Mercosur free trade agreement between the European Union and South American countries. France refuses to sign itbut it could be adopted during the G20 which takes place in Brazil on Monday November 18 and Tuesday November 19.
The Young Farmers and the FDSEA are joining forces again, after having returned the municipal signs last year, this time they are preparing to cover them with inscriptions hostile to Mercosur. Monday at the start of the afternoon, farmers will take a stroll in a tractor through the streets of the Marne prefecture, passing “symbolic places” explains the JA union. They will then settle in for the night in front of the prefecture, before leaving the next morning.
Rural coordination, the second agricultural union, will distribute leaflets on Monday morning near the Porte Sainte-Croix next to the prefecture.
The FDSEA and the JA organize a filter barrier on the border with Belgium. From 10 a.m. Monday November 18, they will check trucks between Bouillon in Belgium and La Chapelle looking for products that do not comply with European standards.
