Tractor protests are my favorite kind of protest.

Why are they protesting?

From Reuters:

Brussels police said they had authorised a protest with up to 50 tractors, but by early Thursday afternoon around 1,000, mostly with Belgian number plates, had arrived in the Belgian capital. They estimated the number of protesters at 7,000.

EU leaders are set to debate at a summit in Brussels on Thursday whether the EU should sign the deal with the bloc of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Critics of the trade pact, which has been 25 years in the making, say cheap commodities could flood the market to the detriment of European producers.

They're protesting in the UK too:

Starmer is clueless.

The farmers are protesting in France as well:

Paris wants farmers to mass slaughter their herds should they be infected with viral disease such as lumpy skin disease.

You won't see these protests in the mainstream media, but that's why outlets such as ours exist.

No farmers, no food!

Stand with your local farmer!
