00:00Moving now to Spain.
00:01On February 11th, hundreds of farmers protested in Madrid to denounce the precarious situation
00:06facing the Spanish countryside and to reject the EU-Mercosur trade agreement.
00:11Protesters see the trade agreement as a threat to European producers and consumers because
00:16it allows products that don't meet the European quality standards to enter.
00:20They demand that national and European authorities take urgent measures to support the Cerullo
00:25sector.
00:25Critics also blame Pedro Sánchez's government and the Ministry of Agriculture, with some
00:31even calling for the Prime Minister's resignation over a lack of institutional support.
