Tensions flared outside the European Parliament as farmers protested the Mercosur trade deal, with riot police firing tear gas to disperse the crowd. Demonstrators gathered to voice their opposition to the agreement, which they say threatens local agriculture and could harm domestic producers.

The protest saw farmers wielding pitchforks and banners while marching toward the Parliament building in Brussels. Authorities deployed riot control measures, including tear gas, to prevent the protest from escalating into uncontrolled violence. Several minor injuries were reported, though no fatalities occurred.

Farmers argue that the Mercosur deal, which involves a trade agreement between the European Union and South American countries including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, would flood the European market with cheaper agricultural imports. Protesters claim this could undercut local farmers and destabilize the European agricultural sector.
