Celebrate the New Year in peace and auspiciousness
Recently, dissatisfaction with the EU's agricultural policies has reached a peak among Spanish peasant groups, who have taken drastic action to block the highway connecting with Portugal.
On February 5, groups of Spanish farmers blocked highway traffic connecting Spain and Portugal in order to ** the EU's agricultural policy. This is just one of many events for farmer groups in many parts of Spain. Groups such as the Spanish Federation of Freight Forwarding, the Association of Self-Employed Persons and the Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises have also joined the ranks of **, calling for the opening of an indefinite strike in order to ** the EU's agricultural policy.
It is worth noting that the French peasants gradually dismantled the barricades they had set up in Paris and other parts of the country on the 2nd. Previously, France** proposed more than 400 million euros in measures aimed at addressing their grievances with low incomes, strict regulation and unfair competition from abroad. The National Federation of Farmers' Unions is the largest farmers' union in France. The day after the measures were announced in Paris and Brussels, French farmers lifted most of the lockdowns, but farmers in Spain and Italy were still mobilizing for demonstrations.
This raises an important question: can countries** truly understand and value the demands of farmers? We need to develop fairer and more rational agricultural policies to improve the living conditions and income levels of farmers. In doing so, we must seriously consider how to address unfair competition, strict regulation, and low incomes at home and abroad.
Countries** need to see farmers as an important part and take effective measures to solve the problems they face. Only through a fair and rational agricultural policy can farmers earn a better life and income, and make them feel more dignified and worthy. We call on all countries** to work together to create a fairer, more just and more prosperous agricultural environment for farmers.
