Protestors put up a banner that reads "Citizens' committee: Stop the massacres! Our cows and our farmers must live!" on a roundabout during a farmers' demonstration in Le Boulou, southwestern France, on December 18, 2025. Five French motorway routes were closed or disrupted in southwestern France due to agricultural protests, according to a tally by the operator Vinci Autoroutes on December 18, 2025 morning, following the management of the bovine skin disease epizootic, which sparked the resurgence of farmers’ anger fueled by the EU-Mercosur agreement. EU Farmers, particularly in France, worry the Mercosur deal -- which will be discussed at the EU leaders meeting -- will see them undercut by a flow of cheaper goods from agricultural giant Brazil and its neighbours. They also oppose plans put forward by the European Commission to overhaul the 27-nation bloc's huge farming subsidies, fearing less money will flow their way. (Photo by Idriss Bigou-Gilles / AFP)
