3. VARIOUS OF FARMERS HOLDING DEMONSTRATION WITH TRACTORS NEAR PALACE OF VERSAILLES PARIS, FRANCE - SEPT. 26: Farmers in France staged a demonstration outside the Palace of Versailles on Friday, Sept. 26, to protest the free trade agreement between the European Union and the South American trade bloc Mercosur.

On Sept, 17, a petition demanding the repeal of the controversial Duplomb law will be debated in the French National Assembly after gathering more than 2.13 million signatures, the parliamentary group La France Insoumise (LFI) announced.

The law comes on the heels of widespread farmer protests last year, during which agricultural workers voiced anger over government policies and a planned free trade deal between the EU and the South American trade bloc Mercosur.

Farmers, who said the deal would lead to unfair competition and exacerbate existing restrictions in the sector, drove their tractors into Paris and blockaded the capital for days.

In response, the government pledged reforms and improvements to support the agricultural sector following negotiations with farmer unions.
