Farmer crisis continues in Europe

 The agricultural policies implemented recently do not satisfy farmers in many EU countries, especially in Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Italy and Hungary. Farmers all over Europe have been protesting since last year by pouring mud or fertilizer in front of public institutions and various organizations or blocking roads due to fuel prices, increases in taxes and insufficient support payments. European farmers criticize the EU for "making agricultural production difficult by introducing strict rules on the use of carbon fertilizers and pesticides within the scope of the Green Deal." Representatives of farmers in Italy, who have been protesting the agricultural policies of the European Union (EU), increasing costs and the cutting of supports in the sector, made a symbolic protest parade on the streets of the capital Rome with 4 tractors. Representatives of the farmers, who camped with their tractors in the north of Rome at the beginning of the week and met with the authorities to demonstrate in the city center, entered the capital this morning with 4 tractors, in agreement with the Rome Governorship and police officials. Farmers carrying the Hungarian flag chanted slogans on the side of the highway and protested the agricultural and environmental policies of the European Union. It was reported that farmers in Greece blocked the road on the North Macedonia border today, as part of the protests they initiated to draw attention to the increasing problems in the agricultural sector. Farmers, who have completed their fourth day of protests in Spain, called to move their protests to the capital Madrid.
