🚨🇫🇷 FRENCH FARMERS TO DUMP MORE POOP ON STREETS IN PROTEST?

France’s main farmers’ union, FNSEA, announced nationwide protests starting mid-November, fueled by discontent over the potential EU-Mercosur trade deal, cheaper imports, and regulatory burdens.

Earlier protests were triggered by competition from low-cost imports, bad weather, and livestock disease outbreaks.

The union fears the trade deal will allow cheaper agricultural goods that don’t meet EU standards, despite President Macron’s opposition.
