Mercosur. It is the term which puts Young Farmers and the members FDSEA from Orne angry this Monday, November 18, 2024. Indeed, these free trade negotiations with South America are underway with the European Union.

What is Mercosur

As its title suggests, Mercosur is a major project intended to liberalize agriculture between the EU and five Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia).
“Venezuela was part of the project for a time, before being suspended for political reasons,” indicates the touteleurope.eu website. “Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Surinam are associate members of Mercosur.”

What is planned around Flers?

Thus, from 7 p.m., the mobilisation will start at the La Selle-la-Forge roundabout. “We are going to light the fire of anger against the negotiations initiated on Mercosur, then cover up the indication signs of communes,” explains Anne-Marie Denis, president of the regional federation of agricultural farmers’ unions (FRSEA) in in an article for L'Orne Combattante.
