Berlin, the capital of Germany, is a metropolis with a rich history and diverse culture. Not so long ago, however, the place had become a mess, a mess of rage. Thousands of peasants drove their tractors to Berlin city center from all over the country, subsidizing their country's agricultural products and demanding more.
It was Germany's largest demonstration since the Cold War, and the first major issue facing the new Chancellor Olaf Scholz since he came to power. Why are German farmers so angry?What do they want?So, what would ** do?
1. The dilemma of German farmers: environmental protection and financial crisis.
German farmers complain about this, partly because of the introduction of a set of environmental protection measures in recent years, and partly because of the sluggish agricultural market. According to Germany's plan, stricter measures will be taken in the future to ensure the safety of pest species and groundwater, and a unilateral ban on glyphosate, which is widely used, until 2022.
Doing so will increase farmers' production costs and reduce production efficiency, thereby reducing their competitiveness and reducing their profits. According to the statistics of the German Farmers' Association, the income of German farmers in 2018 fell compared to 2010 and decreased by 236%。Across Europe, German farmers are paid much lower wages than the average person.
When it comes to environmental protection, farmers in Germany are facing weak markets for their agricultural products. In recent years, due to the energy crisis, climate change, international friction and other reasons, the supply and demand relationship in the German agricultural market has been deteriorating, the market supply and demand relationship has become increasingly tight, and the market competition has become increasingly fierce.
In particular, agriculture in Germany has been hit hard by the flu outbreak, and many farms are unable to operate, and some are on the verge of closure. According to a poll conducted by the German Farmers' Association, more than half of the farmers are not optimistic about the future, and many young farmers have no interest in continuing to run their family farms.
2. The appeal of German farmers: give more subsidies and the right to speak.
In this context, German farmers urgently need support and subsidies from the state to reduce their financial burden. They argue that the state should take responsibility for environmental protection, rather than shifting the burden to farmers.
They want India** to withdraw the withdrawal of tax cuts on agricultural products and implement tax cuts for agricultural diesel and automobiles, while increasing subsidies one by one and extending them for a period of time. At the same time, it is also expected that the state will strengthen technical support and training for farmers to help them improve their production efficiency and quality, so as to meet environmental needs and market changes.
While increasing subsidies, German farmers are also demanding that they be given a greater say in policy-making, while also making full use of their expertise and experience. They complained that they did not fully listen to their voices when formulating agricultural policies, but only knew how to force them to do it.
They called on countries** to engage in dialogue with them and with environmental organizations to find a solution that would maintain the competitive advantage of agricultural products while maintaining their environmental benefits. At the same time, they also hope that the country can improve its social status and image, change the public's preconceptions and misconceptions about themselves, and make themselves more respected and recognized.
3. Germany's response to this: compromise and exchange.
In response to the call of the broad masses of the people, Germany has adopted a strategy of combining "reconciliation" and "diplomacy" with the aim of easing and easing contradictions. Germany** said that it is very aware of the difficulties of farmers and hopes to find a common ground through consultation and consultation.
Germany has pledged to provide more subsidies to farmers to help them solve their environmental problems and increase their income and well-being. Germany also said that in the process of formulation and implementation, it is necessary to give farmers more say and give full play to their expertise and experience.
On this basis, Germany has also put forward its own obligation to protect the environment, rather than abandoning the goals and regulations it has set. Germany** believes that farmers should be involved, not all.
Germany** is calling on farmers to pay attention to the residue of pesticides in drinking water and reduce the number of insect species to help combat global warming. Germany also said that it will work with Europe and other countries to promote the fairness and stability of the world agricultural market, so that German farmers will have more opportunities for development.
Conclusion. The demonstrations in Germany reflect that Germany is currently in a serious crisis and is undergoing a profound transformation. Due to the dual pressure of environmental protection and economic development, German farmers are facing their own survival and development crisis, and their voices should be paid attention to and valued by the state and the whole society.
Germany's response to this reflects not only Germany's political rationality and democracy, but also Germany's inclusiveness and integration. In this process, it is necessary to find a balance and compromise between farmers and the state in order to reconcile ecological and agricultural sustainable development. This is not only related to the development of German agriculture itself, but also related to Germany's national security and world status. What do you think?
