The EU has recently reached a trade agreement with four Latin American countries through the Mercosur economic organization. This agreement is seen as crucial for the EU's economic recovery.
However, there is significant opposition to the deal from France and various farmers' associations, who are concerned about its potential impact on local agriculture. As the EU faces economic challenges, there is a growing urgency to finalize this trade agreement.
French President Emmanuel Macron and agricultural stakeholders are expected to have a heated debate over the treaty, which could potentially lead to a broader crisis within the EU. This situation highlights the tension between the need for increased trade and the protection of domestic farming interests.
