Tractorate in Granada with a message to Sánchez: "We must give more wheat and preach less"

The representatives of the associations of farmers and ranchers summoning the tractorate that crosses this Wednesday Granada capital, in protest by the crisis of the primary sector, have asked the Government of Pedro Sánchez "to give more wheat and preach less" and have rejected measures such as the reduction of steps that have been described as "counterproductive".

Speaking to reporters before the demonstration, about 11.00 a.m. from in front of the Almanjáyar de la Junta Administrative Building, in the northern part of the capital of Granada, the general secretary of Asaja in Granada, Manuel del Pino, thanked the support of the citizenry but has stressed that who "has to show their support" is who "has to solve" the "problems" of the sector, starting with "a man who has a name and surname", referring to Sanchez.

"The only thing he has done is to take two measures that are counterproductive for agriculture and livestock," said Del Pino, referring to the reduction of peonadas, which "benefits farm workers, who are not the ones who are today manifest here, "but small and medium farmers and entrepreneurs.

The Secretary General of Asaja has also criticized the promotion of a "tightening of the Labor Inspectorate", which puts the sector, in his opinion, "in the spotlight of society, which will think that we are fraudsters." As long as "efficient and effective solutions are not on the table and published in the Official State Gazette", the farmers will be "on the streets, on the roads or where necessary".

It has calculated the participation in about 20,000 people - in support of a sector that mobilizes about 35,000 farmers in the province of Granada - and up to a thousand tractors (about 750 according to Subdelegation), which have left, about 11.45 hours, after the demonstration from the headquarters of the Delegation of Agriculture in Joaquina Eguaras to the center of the city, where they will receive, before the headquarters of the Board, the delegate of the Andalusian Government in Granada, Pablo García, and in the City Hall, the mayor of The city, Luis Salvador.

Also in statements to the media, the manager of Ecohal, Alfonso Zamora, has considered that the Government has a "state problem with the primary sector", because "if it does nothing" by the system of family farms, it "tends to disappear "or go to the" Dutch model, where investment funds prevail. " FOOD CHAIN

According to Zamora, the Executive "has to punch in the table" and bet on a "good organization of the food chain", on the basis that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is not useful, he added, for the sector of fruits and vegetables.

The provincial secretary of COAG, Miguel Monferrer, has described the manifestation of this Wednesday as "historical tractorate", which has not been able to "get all the tractors we would have wanted" from the whole province, and has asked Sánchez for an Interministerial Bureau to face the challenges of the sector, and not to treat treaties with other countries.

Nicolás Chica (UPA) has also attended the media, who has emphasized the importance of the sector for "life in the villages"; and Fulgencio Torres (Agrifood Cooperatives), with a call for mobilization for the situation of recent years, with work "below production costs."

Likewise, the secretary general of Infaoliva, Enrique Delgado, has advocated measures to deal with "rural depopulation," and to encourage consumption, otherwise, "all the farmers in the villages will end up coming to the city." He highlighted the problem of the oil sector with, among other issues, the new tariffs imposed by the United States.

The demonstration has begun to run towards the center without incident, within the framework of a festive atmosphere with songs for "fair prices" and the future of the field, and popular songs by singers like María Jiménez.

SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION

On the other hand, sources of the Board in the province have highlighted the "normality" in the development of the ordinary routes of school transport of Granada capital at the beginning of the day. "Transportation has arrived at its time, although with a lower rate of students than usual," they said.

In addition, one of the transport routes that caters to students in special education centers has been carried out, while the rest of the routes have not been developed due to "the absence of students", on a day when the lack for reasons derived from The tractorate is not considered unjustified.
