Italian farmers, led by COAPI (Coordination of Italian Farmers and Fishermen), are demonstrating with their own agricultural vehicles against the European Commission s imposition of a free trade agreement with Mercosur countries and to denounce the profound economic crisis facing small and medium-sized local agri-food businesses.
In Europe, as here in Italy, many farmers have protested against the agreement with the Mercosur countries. (Imago / Zuma Press Wire)
