International Coalition 'Disrupt' Targets Logistics Empire in Europe
An international coalition, 'Disrupt', is gearing up for coordinated actions across Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The group's focus is a logistics empire, with planned protests targeting its operations. However, specific details about the coalition's founding members remain scarce.
The port of Brake in Germany, a key entry point for animal feed, is set to be a focal point. It handles over three million tons of feed annually, with Europe's largest silo facility capable of unloading up to 20,000 tons of grain daily. The port stores soy from South America and the USA, potentially housing the largest free-standing warehouse on the continent.
Activists under the banner 'Disrupt. Food System' have been vocal in Bremen, protesting the current food system's impacts on humans and the environment. Their planned actions include workshops, a bike tour to Brake seaport, and a demonstration in Bremen. The Mercosur agreement, which aims to expand trade flows between the EU and South American countries, is a particular point of contention. Critics argue it leads to deforestation and human rights violations.
The international coalition 'Disrupt' is mobilizing against a logistics empire, with planned actions in multiple European countries. Brake port, a significant hub for animal feed, is a key target. The protests, which include workshops and demonstrations, aim to highlight the environmental and human costs of the current food system, particularly in relation to the Mercosur agreement.
