FNSEA Sets Sept. 25 Nationwide Actions Targeting Mercosur Deal and US Tariffs

The union seeks to pressure incoming Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu for stronger, reciprocal safeguards against non‑compliant imports.

Overview

  • The mobilization will span all French départements as coordinated local demonstrations rather than nationwide blockades.
  • Planned tactics include visits to supermarkets to flag non‑compliant goods, protests at prefectures, and actions near catering services, according to FNSEA leaders.
  • The union will not take part in the September 18 national strike and it declined the September 10 ‘Bloquons tout’ movement.
  • FNSEA cites declining production and increased reliance on imports and criticizes proposed EU Mercosur safeguard clauses as ineffective.
  • Actions are to be organized with Jeunes Agriculteurs, and the union is seeking a meeting with Sébastien Lecornu in the coming days.
