In response to the upcoming G20 meeting in Brazil, the FNSEA, France’s leading farming union, plans to initiate nationwide actions starting November 18. President Arnaud Rousseau voiced concerns over potential severe impacts from the EU-Mercosur trade deal and emphasized engaging with authorities without resorting to highway blockades. Other agricultural groups, like Coordination Rurale, are also preparing protests, with plans for a ‘food freight blockade’ on November 19. This movement follows historical protests against trade agreements and aims to raise awareness on agricultural challenges.
