French protesters, led by Patriots party, tore up an EU flag at a rally over fears of the EU-Mercosur trade deal harming farmers.
Protesters in Paris, led by the Patriots party and its leader Florian Philippot, tore up an EU flag during a rally of over 1,000 people demanding France exit the EU to protect its farming sector.
The symbolic act, featuring a farmer and Philippot ripping the flag, was fueled by opposition to the proposed EU-Mercosur trade deal, which farmers fear would flood markets with cheaper, less-regulated imports.
Support for farmers' concerns remains high, with an Elabe poll showing 80% of French people back their stance.
In recent weeks, mayors in several towns removed EU flags from town halls in symbolic protest.
