Protest in Nicosia Against EU-Mercosur Agreement

A protest took place in Nicosia, outside the House of Europe, by agricultural and trade union organizations against the European Union-Mercosur trade agreement. Protesters, holding banners and placards with slogans such as “Our food is not a commodity,” express fears about the agreement's negative impact on Cypriot agriculture, food safety, and the Mediterranean diet. The organizations are calling for the rejection of the agreement, arguing that it threatens the survival of Cypriot producers. The event was supported by EKA, Panagrotikos, NEDHPA, TERRA CYPRIA, and PEO.
