Michel-Edouard Leclerc, president of the E. Leclerc supermarket group, voiced strong opposition to the Mercosur trade agreement in a recent interview on France Inter. He argues that the deal fails to align with ecological advancements and could undermine European standards by allowing products that do not meet local regulations. Labeling the agreement as ‘obsolete’, Leclerc emphasizes the necessity of safeguarding food sovereignty over economic interests, despite acknowledging the need to boost European automobile sales.
