French farmers protest Mercosur deal

French farmers have announced a new wave of protests next week against a planned European Union free trade agreement with trade bloc Mercosur, saying increased imports of agricultural products from South America will damage their livelihoods.

Farmers are planning protests on Monday against the EU’s free trade agreement with Mercosur, saying increased imports from South America will damage European Union agriculture, the head of France’s largest farm lobby FNSEA said on Wednesday.

It came after farmers in Belgium called for demonstrations near EU headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday. Several tractors stopped in the European neighbourhood on Schuman Square opposite the European Commission and EU Council buildings.

Farmers in Belgium, which has fallen on hard times, fear that a pending treaty with the Mercosur organisation, which brings together Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil, could lead to a further decline in sales for European growers “due to unfair competition.” According to Belgian trade unions, the pact, which has been under discussion for years, could be approved during the upcoming G20 meeting on November 18-19 in Brazil.

The rally in Brussels was coordinated by police, who blocked several streets in Brussels, but traffic congestion was avoided.

“Bad agreement”

FNSEA head Arnaud Rousseau told France Inter radio:

This trade agreement, which links part of the South American states to Europe, risks having dramatic consequences for agriculture. So from Monday for a few days we will be in all regions to make sure that France’s voice is heard during the G20 in Brazil, and we hope that all European countries will join us because it’s not about a country, it’s not about France, it’s about Europe.

But French farmers are not going to block roads and motorways as they did last year, when anger at competition from cheaper imports, including from EU ally Ukraine, and the burden of regulation led to large-scale protests across the EU. He also added:

We are not here to worry the French people, we are here to tell them that we are proud to feed them and to continue to produce in France.

On Sunday, the country’s agriculture minister Annie Genevard called the planned free trade deal between South American countries and the EU a “bad agreement” as it would allow “99,000 tonnes of beef, 180,000 tonnes of sugar and the same amount of poultry” into the country and create damaging competition for local producers.

Weather-ravaged harvests and outbreaks of livestock disease, as well as political deadlock following snap elections earlier this summer, have added to French farmers’ discontent.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Europe could starve! Farmers are protesting all across Europe!! Thousands of tractors have blocked all roads outside Paris, while similar protests are taking place in several European countries such as Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as Spain, Portugal and Romania, as well as Hungary. Tractors and hay were used to block roads, vegetables were thrown, and manure was thrown on public buildings. One farmer and his daughter were killed. Two protesters threw soup on the Louvre's Mona Lisa! But why? Because the farming system in Europe is not working. Farmers were already struggling but the latest EU laws have angered the farmers: - - A free-trade deal that could flood European markets with cheap meat and produce. - A push by the government to bring down food inflation. - A plan to phase out tax breaks on farming fuel! - A mandate to leave 4% of farmland fallow!! European farmers, who were already under severe financial strain, could not bear it so they began protesting against these EU laws. France has vowed to support these farmers as the EU has conceded and delayed the fallow requirement. However, farmers claim it is not enough. What awaits EU’s farms??

Farmers' Protests in Europe: Facts and Figures

What started as silent discontent over the EU's stringent agricultural policies has now swept across the entire Europe and has become a serious domestic matter, threatening a deeper fracture between governments and their voters.

— Sputnik International | Monday February 12, 2024

In recent months, farmers across European nations have been protesting unwise short-sighted policies pursued by bloc officials that harm local agriculture workers. To express their outrage, protesters are blocking highways and dumping waste in front of government buildings to draw attention to their woes.

Farmers are protesting rising financial burdens, poorly regulated agricultural imports, growing fuel prices, and other adverse EU measures in the sector. The demonstrations question the consistency of EU agricultural policy as it stands today, especially amid growing military spending and billion of euros being thrown at foreign objectives.

The Great Green Rebellion: Farmers' Uprising Against the Quest for a 'Greener' Tomorrow

In a stunning turn of events that you might have missed (because let’s face it, it’s not on mainstream media, and who reads past the headlines these days?), farmers across Europe have decided they’ve had enough. No more Mr. Nice Farmer. From the picturesque fields of Germany to the romantic vineyards of France, the agricultural proletariat is rising against what they perceive as the tyrannical…

Honestly, the gall of the usamericans in the comments saying this cause is wrong. Fucking shut up you have no idea what you are talking about.

Farmers here are protesting because the EU is imposing laws that'll make it even harder for farmers (especially small farmers, who own small farms and whose business is in most cases only local, not nation-wide) to do their job, i.d. cultivate their lands and provide for their cattle. They demand a fair pay for their work and their products and all that is necessary for them to do their job. That's it and that's a cause that's worth fighting for.

The EU is making it more and more difficult to acquire lands and maintain, use those lands. So many small farmers already have had to sell their lands to big landowners and corporations. The EU aims to destroy small businesses, biodiversity, tradition, quality products and authenticity in favour of mass-scale products that make you sick, destroy biodiversity (because the product chain destroys the environment those industries settle in) and pollute terribly.

To those who say those farmers are burgeausy, you have no idea what a farmer looks and lives like.

To those who claim that immigrants are the ones feeding us and the ones being exploited in the fields, I say that at their side there are European people too, who can't afford any other job; I say that the farmers' protest is their protest too; and I say also that this condition of exploitation you are denouncing here is the DESIRED result of the immigration policies that the EU promotes (a high amount of unprofessional work-force means that it can be paid less and therefore exploited. It's not that difficult to connect the dots). This starts from there, from fucking Bruxelles: they impose their decisions without considering the population's wants and needs.

So wash your filthy mouth before talking about our farmers. They are the ones feeding us products of quality.

Polish farmers block rail links with Ukraine

On 18 February, Polish farmers completely blocked the movement of trucks in both directions at the international checkpoint Dorohusk-Jahodyn and disrupted railway communication with Ukraine, Ukrainian media reported.

Since 9:00 Kyiv time, Polish farmers have been completely blocking the movement of lorries in both directions at the Dorohusk-Jahodyn international checkpoint. The farmers are holding a large-scale protest on the access roads to the village of Dorohusk.

Despite the protesters’ promises to let perishable, dangerous or humanitarian goods through, not a single heavy vehicle has crossed the border since then. The State Customs Service of Ukraine noted that shuttle buses passed through normally without queues.

As of 16 February, Polish farmers blocked six checkpoints on the border with Ukraine.

Paid pro russian farmers forgot, when Poland went into EU they became main competitors for Germany and France. Pour out Ukrainian grain that was heading to Germany, pouring out grain that was planted, grown and harvested under fire and bombing is an act of scoundrels and assholes. Weapons can’t be arrived in proper time, we are dying because of you. We cover you from horror. We die for you too. Because if we are captured by russia, you will be next. russians directly state this. You are cowards. And I say this to the Poland farmers who have bloody money in their hands. It’s not pro Poland protests. It’s anti Ukrainian protests.
