Farmers in Dordogne, south-west France, have begun a series of undeclared tractor protests, targeting government offices. Farmers in Dordogne launched a series of tractor protests on Tuesday targeting the préfecture and sous-préfecture offices in Périgueux, Nontron, Sarlat and Bergerac. The protests, called by farming union Coordination rurale, began on Tuesday afternoon with tractors moving slowly in convoy along Dordogne roads before arriving at the government offices to hold demonstrations in the evening.

The E.U. and Mercosur countries have reached a trade deal expected to eliminate tariffs on over 90% of trade, impacting global trade dynamics and local farmers.
