Mercosur, Hungary: ‘Tomorrow we will vote against the agreement, the EU is ignoring farmers’

Brussels, 8 January (LaPresse) – “Tomorrow Hungary will vote against the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement. The European Commission is pushing for the adoption and implementation of an agreement that would open Europe to unlimited imports of South American agricultural products at the expense of Hungarian farmers’ livelihoods. We oppose this decision, as Brussels is once again ignoring the interests of our farmers.” This was written by Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on X.
