Dozens of tractors rolled into Place du Luxembourg in Brussels on Wednesday as farmers protested against a potential trade deal between the European Union and South America’s Mercosur bloc.
Footage showed streets blocked by tractors, with protesters lighting fires in barrels as police stood by. Demonstrators warned that cheaper imports could threaten their livelihoods, as EU leaders prepare to vote to approve the agreement.
