Polish farmers stage nationwide protests over EU–Mercosur trade agreement
Farmers across Poland held coordinated protests to voice concerns about the planned EU–Mercosur trade deal and its potential impact on domestic agriculture.
Polish farmers staged nationwide protests at more than 180 locations, including roadside pickets and demonstrations outside public offices, to oppose the European Union’s planned trade agreement with Mercosur countries.
Protesters say the deal could lead to an influx of cheaper food from Latin America, which they fear would undermine Polish agricultural production and standards.
Farmers are calling for greater financial support, simpler regulations and safeguards against excessive imports, warning the agreement could affect food prices and jobs across Europe.
