Recently, a strong wave of agriculture has been set off on the European continent, from France to Spain, to Italy, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and other places, farmers have poured into the streets, and the activities have intensified. This wave is not only the protection of peasants' interests, but also the product of the interweaving of multiple factors such as politics, economy, and international relations.
The peasants of France first rushed to Paris, threatening to "surround" the city, blocking the main road into Paris; Spanish farmers are also "marching" into Madrid; Farmers in Italy from Sicily** to Trento; Belgian peasants even tried to block the port. In addition, farmers from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Romania also joined in this mighty operation.
There are two main factors at the root of European farming: the EU's policy towards Ukraine and the impact of the United States on environmental issues.
Ukraine policy:The European Union's granting of duty-free privileges to Ukrainian goods has given Ukrainian agricultural products a huge competitive advantage in the European market. This has a direct impact on the sale of agricultural products within the EU and puts European farmers in a difficult position.
U.S. Environmental Issues:After Biden took office, he actively promoted environmental protection issues, and the European Union introduced a series of "green deals", which had a negative impact on agriculture and harmed the interests of farmers.
The political situation in the United States has also had an impact on European farmers. After Trump came to power, he opposed environmental protection issues, which triggered a "war" of right-wing forces in Europe, and right-wing forces in many countries have co-opted farmers to hold rallies on the theme of environmental protection issues.
This ** wave is expected to continue and may intensify. Europe's right-wing forces are trying to use the peasants to win more seats and even influence the electoral landscape in Europe.
European agricultural activities are not only a struggle to safeguard interests, but also a comprehensive reflection of political, economic, international relations and other factors. The continuation of this event will further test Europe's ability to deal with it, and will also affect Europe's political stability and future development direction. In the face of this situation, all sectors of society need to take more active measures to find solutions, resolve crises, and promote the harmonious and stable development of society.
