💨 Abstract
French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will vote against the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement due to unanimous political rejection in France, despite concessions for EU farmers. Ireland also opposes the deal, but Italy's support may lead to its adoption. French farmers protested by blocking roads and landmarks in Paris. Macron vowed to continue fighting for farmers' interests and full implementation of commitments.
