Sixteenth Day of 'Farmers Protest' Across Spain

Sixteenth Day of 'Farmers Protest' Across Spain

Some of the demonstrators confront police officers during the sixteenth day of protests by tractors on Spanish roads, February 21, 2024, in Madrid (Spain). Farmers and ranchers from all over Spain have taken their tractors to the roads for the sixteenth consecutive day, to demand improvements in the sector, including aid to address the droughts suffered by the countryside. In addition, they are protesting against European policies and their lack of profitability. Hundreds of tractors began yesterday their slow march to Madrid where a large protest is planned today to give voice to the unease of the field. Farmers advance in five different columns that converge in the capital, trying to collapse traffic. This mobilization takes place five days after the meeting that the Minister of Agriculture had with agricultural associations in Madrid and ended without agreement despite the measures offered by Planas.

    Farmers Protest - Madrid

    Beekeepers during a protest of farmers and ranchers in front of the Ministry of Agriculture, on December 16, 2024, in Madrid (Spain). Farmers and ranchers, convened by Asaja and COAG, come out today to protest to show their discomfort at the "lack of effective responses to the many problems" that accumulates the sector, including the agreement between the EU and Mercosur, which ''see a great threat to the field''. In addition, they reiterate that the high production costs and low prices at source in much of the productions remain a drag on the economies of their farms, of which many are doomed to closure.

              Farmers Protest by Lighting Fires of Anger - France

              Farmers Protest by Lighting Fires of Anger - France

              A new "fire of anger" was ignited on the A61 motorway roundabout, and a combine harvester left behind during the previous action was concreted over. The fires of anger have reignited in the Aude region. This action, led by the FNSEA (Fédération Nationale des Syndicats d'Exploitants Agricoles, translated as the National Federation of Agricultural Holders' Unions) and the JA or FJA (Fédération des Jeunes Agriculteurs, translated as the Federation of Young Farmers), is one of many protests occurring across the country to criticize the future awaiting French farmers under the Macron administration (with the words "The Future After Macron" written in red) and to oppose the EU-Mercosur agreement. Farmers dumped several bales of hay before setting them on fire at a roundabout in Castelnaudary, France on December 13, 2024. Photo by Marie Hubert Psaila/ABACAPRESS.COM
