European farmers are battling EU suicidal ‘green’ policies.

Many people see the European farmers as pampered agriculturalists addicted to a good subsidy – but the reality is not that simple.

Under the EU draconian ‘green’ laws, they are subjected to impossible conditions and restrictions to produce food – only to, then, watch politicians turn around and make trade agreements with the South American bloc Mercosur, where farmers grow unexpensive food without any of Brussels’ limitations.

Time and time again, in the last couple of year, we’ve seen the furious farmers march on Brussels, and today was no different – only larger and angrier.

Associated Press reported:

“Farmers in tractors blocked roads and set off fireworks in Brussels on Thursday outside a European Union leaders’ summit, prompting police to respond with tear gas and water cannons as protesters rallied against a major free-trade deal with South American nations.

Farmers fear an agreement with the trade bloc known as Mercosur will undercut their livelihoods, and there are broader political concerns it is driving support for the far right.

The farmers brought potatoes and eggs to throw — along with sausages and beer for nourishment — and waged a furious back-and-forth with police.”

“In Brussels, protesters burned tires and a faux wooden coffin bearing the word ‘Agriculture’. Their fire unleashed a black cloud that swirled with white tear gas.

‘We will not die in silence’, read one sign. ‘The dictatorship starts here’, read another.”

Farmers came from far away countries like Spain of Poland, denouncing the Mercosur deal as ‘bad for farmers, bad for consumers, bad for citizens and bad for Europe’.
