Farmers create chaos in front of the EU offices in Brussels / Protest for high

Farmers from a number of European countries protested outside the European Union's headquarters in Brussels today, blocking several road entrances with tractors, throwing explosives at police and setting fires as they called on European Union leaders to offer them support in the face of rising prices, taxes and European rules that, according to them, are causing them difficulties.

The protest is held at a time when European leaders have gathered in Brussels for a high-level meeting.

It marks the culmination of protests by farmers that have spread to European countries from Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, France and others, who say they are suffering serious consequences due to the increase in the costs of chemicals for their crops. , energy costs and competition with cheaper import products.

The protests in Europe are taking place as the far right, which is enjoying increasing support from farmers, aims to win the European Parliament elections in June.

The European Commission on Wednesday announced plans to protect farmers from cheaper goods imported from Ukraine during the war and to allow farmers to use land that has until now been left fallow for environmental reasons.

However, farmers say that these measures are not enough, as they are facing high taxes and unfair competition from abroad.

It is still unclear whether the 27 leaders of the EU countries will give concrete proposals in today's meeting regarding the farmers' demands./ VOA
