If you want to understand why the Mercosur deal is always prevented by French farmers, it has nothing to do with economics, but rather how countries essentialise themselves. French people see the country as an agrarian economy and Germany as an industrial power, thus the goal of the deal is to destroy the essence of France and kneecap us. This type of thinking (we good, germans bad) can be applied to most issues about the EU or international cooperation
