French farmers are mobilizing nationwide to protest the Mercosur free trade agreement, which they argue creates unfair competition.

The FNSEA and Young Farmers unions have organized over 80 actions across France, targeting government offices to draw attention to their plight.

Farmers are also demanding the government fulfill promises made last winter.

In the Yvelines, hundreds of farmers are expected to block roads, while similar actions are planned in other regions.

Meanwhile, the Coordination Rurale, another agricultural union, has been involved in more aggressive protests, including setting fires and blocking ports.

The protests highlight the growing discontent among farmers over trade policies and regulatory burdens.
