Hundreds of people protested Saturday in Warsaw against free-trade agreements that the European Union is pursuing with the U.S. and Canada, saying they will hurt Polish farmers and consumers. The rally was organized by a non-governmental group, Akcja Democracja, with trade unions and several small opposition parties. The EU trade ministers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on whether to approve CETA. Environmental activists and trade unions across Europe have expressed fears that the deals could worsen local standards for food, work and industry. On Friday, the Belgian region of Wallonia rejected the CETA deal.
