Spanish Farmers Join the European Agricultural Revolt – Promised Concessions by the EU Have Not Stopped the Movement
The old continent is in a trance ahead of the June European Parliament elections, that are poised to give populist, right wingers more power than ever.
Add to that the fact that farmers are staging unprecedented protests all across the continent, from east to west, from north to south.
A non-exhausting list would include France, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Italy, now Spain, and of course Belgium – with farmers converging to Brussels to protest in front of the European Parliament.
Such a threat to the Brussels bureaucracy it poises that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen appeared to cave big time to some of the farmers’ demands.
