Tens of Thousands Protest TTIP, CETA Across Europe

Tens of thousands rallied across France, Spain, Belgium, Germany and other countries that will be affected by the deals. France’s Nuit Debout protests were revitalized Saturday, with protests against trans-atlantic free trade deals mobilizing hundreds of thousands across Europe and connecting the deals to other social, labor and environmental concerns. An estimated 8,000 people hit the streets in Paris, chanting against police brutality, labor reform, deportations and airport construction in Nantes that will displace dozens of farmers. Tens of thousands also rallied across Spain, Belgium, Germany and other countries that will be affected by the deals.

The same day, activist lawyer group ClientEarth launched the legal proceeding against the Commission in regard to investor rules laid out in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA.
