BIG DEBATE / Mercosur: farmers' anger "The recap" by Bruno Donnet On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, a meeting was organized between the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the French Prime Minister with a view to sealing a free trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur. A project that is making the French countryside pale, still on edge since the farmers' movement in January 2024. This agreement would allow a virtual elimination of customs duties for exports from Latin American states. The products concerned would be beef and poultry, sugar and corn. EU member countries will obtain facilities to export cars, chemicals and medicines. Farmers are up in arms. The National Federation of Farmers' Unions (FNSEA) has called for mobilization starting Monday, November 18. For her part, the Minister of Agriculture, Annie Genevard, declared that France is trying "to rally as many countries as possible in order to impose a veto". Poland, Austria, Ireland and the Netherlands are expected to join the French revolt. Will France therefore succeed in imposing itself against this agreement which serves the interests of Germany, Spain and Italy? Guests: Éléonore Caroit, member of parliament associated with "Ensemble pour la République" for the French in Latin America, Benoît Biteau, Green MP for Charente-Maritime, Patrick Legras, farmer, spokesperson for "Rural Coordination", Aurélie Catallo, director of the French agriculture programme at IDDRI.
