French riot Gendarmes mobiles block the access to demonstrators near the European Parliament building during a protest against the free trade agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur countries, on the eve of a vote on whether to refer it to the courts, in Strasbourg on January 20, 2026. Called by the FNSEA, France's leading national agricultural union, some 4,000 farmers from across the European Union, including Italy, Belgium, and Germany, are expected to attend the protest. MEPs will not vote on the entire agreement with Mercosur until the coming months, but they are set to vote on whether to refer the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

Tisuće poljoprivrednika prosvjedovale zbog sporazuma EU-a i Mercosura

Nekoliko tisuća europskih poljoprivrednika prosvjedovalo je u utorak u francuskome Strasbourgu protiv sporazuma o slobodnoj trgovini između Europske unije i zemalja latinoameričkog bloka Mercosur.

Kako tvrde lokalni dužnosnici u grad je stiglo oko 5000 prosvjednika i nekoliko stotina traktora. U Strasbourgu ovaj tjedan Europski parlament održava svoju redovitu plenarnu sjednicu.

Zastupnici EU-a u srijedu će odlučiti žele li zatražiti mišljenje Europskog suda pravde (ESP) o tomu je li sporni sporazum Mercosura kompatibilan s pravom EU-a, što bi moglo odgoditi proces ratifikacije.

Sporazum o slobodnoj trgovini potpisan je prošli tjedan u Paragvaju i tek ga treba odobriti Europski parlament.

Ovim prosvjedom poljoprivrednici žele nastaviti vršiti pritisak na donositelje odluka u EU-u. Strahuju od nesrazmjerne konkurencije koju će donijeti jeftin uvoz iz zemalja Južne Amerike.

Danas su demonstranti palili dimne bombe i isticali transparente sa sloganima na kojima je pisalo "Von der Leyen, idi kući", upućenima predsjednici Europske komisije Ursuli von der Leyen.

Demonstracije su prouzročile znatne poremećaje u prometu u Strasbourgu, a nekoliko je prometnica blokirano.
