In Seville, a significant protest was held involving dozens of tractors from various municipalities, rallying against the EU's trade agreement with Mercosur and cuts to the Common Agricultural Policy (PAC). This demonstration comes on the heels of a new crisis in the agricultural sector caused by a series of storms that have flooded thousands of hectares of farmland across Andalusia, with initial estimates of financial losses ranging between €2.5 billion and €3 billion as reported by the Junta de Andalucía.

The mobilization was organized by several agricultural organizations including Asaja, Cooperativas Agroalimentarias, Coag, and UPA. Remarkably, this event saw a broad political coalition, with representatives from both the left, including Izquierda Unida and Podemos, and the right, such as Vox, attending to express their support. This alignment illustrates the increasing relevance of agricultural issues within Spain's political discourse, particularly in an election year for the Andalusian region.

Originally scheduled for January 29, the protest had to be postponed due to the severe weather that caused the very crisis farmers were rallying against. The impact of the flooding and the resulting economic strain on the agricultural sector has brought to light the urgent need for policy changes regarding the PAC and trade agreements that critics argue threaten local farmers' livelihoods, highlighting the delicate balance between international trade agreements and domestic agricultural stability in Spain.
