| | (CCTV.com) | | | A massive national march against the North America Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA will be held in Mexico City's main square Thursday.
 Many people from around the country have arrived in Mexico City to take part in the massive protest.
 The protest is against the removal of Mexico's last tariffs on US and Canadian farm goods.
 Under NAFTA terms, Mexico abolished its last tariffs on basic crops on January the 1st.
 Mexican farmers have complained they won't be able to compete with US farmers who can sell cheaper products because they get government subsidies. |
