Hundreds of people today protested in Paris and throughout France against the free trade agreements the European Union is negotiating with Canada and the U.S.

French daily Le Figaro reported protesters have gathered on Saturday afternoon in 35 cities around the country, calling on the government against signing TTIP and CETA agreements.

Although President François Hollande said in August that TTIP negotiations would be "definitely suspended," the organizers of the protests believe that the CETA accord between the EU and Canada — due to be signed at the end of the month — will allow U.S. multinationals to enter the EU market by way of their next door neighbors, the report said.

Hundreds of people also protested the two trade deals in Warsaw on Saturday. According to an AP report, the trade unions and small opposition parties representatives joined the demonstration, saying TTIP and CETA will hurt Polish farmers and consumers alike.

While TTIP talks are ongoing, EU trade ministers are expected to vote on CETA next Tuesday. If they approve it, the agreement with Canada will be signed by the end of the month. The latest protests come after similar demonstrations took place in Belgium and Germany last month.
