French farmers step up their protests against a proposed trade pact between the European Union and four South American countries.

The French government is leading resistance against ratification of the trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc of Argentina , Brazil , Paraguay and Uruguay .

The new wave of action comes after farmers across Europe , including France , mounted rolling protests last winter over a long list of burdens they say are squeezing revenue.

France 's political class is unusually unanimous in its opposition to the deal.
