Farmers across various European countries are protesting due to unresolved issues with the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), financial difficulties, and the impact of climate change. In Greece, farmers’ demonstrations were met with public support, highlighting their concerns over insufficient support and rising costs despite efforts to engage with the government. In contrast, some farmers express pessimism, feeling the policy is designed to eliminate small and medium-sized farms. Across Europe, farmers are demanding changes to CAP regulations, such as reduced administrative burdens and clearer trade rules. In Bulgaria, farmers are urging delays on “green deal” requirements and clearer trade agreements. In Poland, low commodity prices, exacerbated by Ukrainian imports, have led to protests, though a temporary import ban was agreed upon. In Spain, some farmers question the impact of Moroccan agricultural competition. In Czechia, the agricultural sector is heavily influenced by large agribusinesses, leading to protests against the “Green Deal.” In Lithuania, farmers feel unheard regarding the “Green Deal” and the lack of support, particularly concerning environmental requirements and the viability of livestock farming.
