WATCH: Massive Farmers’ Demonstration in Madrid Against Failed and Crippling EU ‘Green’ Policies and Regulations
The Great European Farmers Revolt is ongoing, with the vital food producers category going all out against the failed, crippling EU ‘green policies’ to deal with the environment.
Spanish farmers were some of the latest to mobilize, and they now seem to be gaining significant momentum.
Thousands of farmers gathered in central Madrid today (21) as part of their ongoing protests against both EU and local farming policies, demanding measures to alleviate production cost hikes.
It’s the biggest protest to take place yet in the Spanish capital. It comes after a fortnight of daily protests across the country.
Actions will include a rally outside the Agriculture Ministry headquarters.
Associated Press reported:
“Many of the tractors flew Spanish flags and some farmers carried banners reading, ‘There is no life without farming’, and ‘Farmers in Extinction’. ‘It is impossible to live from the rural industry, which is what we want, to live from our work. That is all we ask for’, Silvia Ruiz, 46, a livestock farmer from the north-central area of Burgos told the press.”
