Anger of farmers: here is where and at what time “distress lights” will be lit against the Mercosur treaty in Aveyron this Monday

Throughout France, the majority union alliance FNSA/Jeunes Agriculteurs are calling for mobilization from Monday November 18, 2024. A movement which promises to be large-scale, as during the demonstrations at the start of 2024 when farmers blocked highways as a sign of protest.

This time, the Mercosur treaty which will be negotiated at the G20 from Monday is the source of the anger of farmers, who denounce what would be a lifting of the rules for importing products into France. “Forcing French breeders with ever more standards, rules to respect on animal welfare, the use of antibiotics and importing polluted foreign meat is an aberration,” says the FDSEA of Aveyron by way of of press release. Many gatherings are announced in the department.
