Protesters took to the streets of Buenos Aires, Hamburg and Paris on Saturday to decry agrochemical corporate giant Monsanto-Bayer-Syngenta.

Bayer AG and Monsanto agreed to a $66 billion takeover deal in 2016. It sparked criticism among environmentalists and farmers across Europe.

After conducting an in-depth investigation, the European Commission approved the controversial acquisition. The tie-up process, which is set to finish by the middle of June, will fundamentally reshape the global agrochemical industry.
