Farmers drive tractors through Madrid to oppose Mercosur agreement

Spanish farmers have driven approximately 500 tractors through Madrid to protest against low incomes and an EU trade deal with South America.

The protest took place Wednesday, causing traffic disruptions as the tractors moved toward the Ministry of Agriculture.

Farmers are demanding immediate action to protect Spanish food security. They say rising costs and strict regulations are squeezing their earnings.

They also oppose the EU-Mercosur trade deal, fearing it will flood the market with cheaper imports.
