Valerie Pecresse meets with Farmers protesting on the RN118 - Velizy-Villacoublay
President of the regional council of Ile-de-France Valerie Pecresse speaks with Vice-President of the farmer union FNSEA (Federation Nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles) Damien Greffin as she meets with French farmers on the RN118 road at the start of a nationwide protest against EU-Mercosur agreement with farmers feeling they have yet to reap the rewards of last winter's mobilisation near Velizy-Villacoublay, southwestern Paris on November 17, 2024. Farmers complain about excessive bureaucracy and low incomes, but they're also fed up with poor harvests, losses from emerging animal diseases and the prospect of signing a free-trade agreement with the Latin American countries of Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay) that would create the world's largest free trade zone.
