French farmers opposed to the Mercosur trade agreement blocked the A1 motorway in northern France on Sunday evening. The action took place in Pas-de-Calais, where the A1 is one of the country’s busiest transport routes. The demonstrators say they plan to remain on site for several days, warning that increased imports would trigger a damaging price war and undermine France’s farming sector. #Frenchfarmers #Mercosur #farmersprotests
