French Farmers Dump Manure and Block Roads in Latest Round of Protests Against Mercosur Trade Agreement and ‘Green’ Failed Policies

The tragic situation of the European farmers is a by-product of the EU elites’ obsession with their ‘Net-zero’ fantasies, leading them to impose a whole host of crippling, failed agricultural policies, making farming in Europe difficult and expensive.

Of course, these same heartless elites are more than happy to turn around and negotiate a free-trade agreement with South American countries that have great, much cheaper agricultural produce since in Mercosur there is no equivalent ‘green’ legislation.

So now European farmers are on a war footing.

Watch: French Farmers and allies block hundreds of roads.

Farmers in southwestern France staged a blockade at the Port of Bordeaux today, demanding government action over unfair foreign competition.

With the power of their tractors, they blocked all access roads to the a key grain terminal.

Bousquet-Chassagne, plum and cereal farmer:

‘We’re drowning under a sea of norms that make no sense and that are supposed to make us produce better. But in my view soon we won’t produce better, we won’t produce anything at all!’ he said.

He praised the UK for leaving the EU. ‘The British are our faithful allies and we admire your decision to leave the European Union, which is partly to blame for our woes’.
