                    Maltese farmers stage new wave of protest

                    STORY: Maltese farmers stage new wave of protest SHOOTING TIME: Feb. 15, 2024 DATELINE: Feb. 16, 2024 LENGTH: 00:02:08 LOCATION: Valletta CATEGORY: POLITICS SHOTLIST: 1. various of farmers' protest STORYLINE: Maltese farmers on Thursday drove their tractors towards the capital city Valletta, carrying national flags and placards reading "Take care of us or you'll go hungry" and "Farmers gone? Eat your money." The protests followed similar demonstrations of the past weeks in several European countries including Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. The farmers in protest are largely against strict EU regulations on climate change mitigation and environment protection in agriculture, which, they said, would put their livelihood at risk. They said such rules would increase the costs for European farmers and make their produce more expensive -- and therefore less competitive -- compared to products imported from non-EU markets where such limits were not in place.
